PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION NEWS........

All plans are on track for what looks to be an exciting Mountain Bike Challenge THIS Sunday 29 March . Judging by the great support of the ‘trial cycle’ last Sunday afternoon, THIS Sunday can only be a great success.

The Grade 5 class is in the running to win the prize for the most cyclists entered, so come on… let's see if they can be pipped at the post. Please make EVERY EFFORT to register before the race, by sending in your money and forms to the College on or before Friday. Failing this, please enter on Saturday between 14:00 and 16:00 at the Dickson Oval.

Cyclist Tip: Judging by the many punctures experienced this past Sunday on the route, we suggest that cyclists ensure that they have ‘slime’ in their tyres.

Please contact Lyn Kok on 0824856525 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have any queries.
