The Hamilton and Alexandra College Inter-primary Games Day
Thank you to the following students who kindly volunteered their time to help run the Inter-Primary Games Day on the 15th November 2019: Indi Talay, Zara Smith, Airlie Bowes, Airlie Treloar, Zoe Weinberg, Sophie Paton & Beccy Koch. Thank you to the Smith family and Tuff Rock for their donations for the raffle. I have already had a great deal of feedback from parents who attended this event complementing our students on how well the competition was run and how much fun all the riders had on the day. It is always such a fabulous opportunity for younger riders to begin their journey in equestrian competition. Many of them achieved great success in their games and took home many ribbons. The overall champion of the day was Matilda Mason from Casterton Primary School. Further results can be found on the event secretary website.
