Year 9 Outdoor Ed – Mountain biking and Archery
Truganina College
Our Year 9 Outdoor Education students recently swapped the classroom for the trails, taking part in a mountain biking and archery excursion run by Mark from the Edmund Rice Foundation.
On the bikes, students tackled a series of challenging obstacle courses, showing impressive balance and control as they built their confidence over the day. It was a great example of our College value of Resilience, with students pushing through tricky sections and having another go when things didn’t go to plan.
At the archery range, students showed great focus and picked up the skills quickly, with plenty of friendly competition along the way.
A big thank you to Mark and the Edmund Rice Foundation for running such a well-organised day, and to Valentine for supporting the excursion.
Keen to keep riding?
Students can join the Edmund Rice Foundation’s On Track mountain biking program, held every Tuesday of term from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at 121–179 Greigs Rd, Truganina.
