On Monday 17 March we will hold our school triathlon for Year 4-8 students. Please talk to your child about whether they wish to enter as an individual or as part of a team (or both). Any students who choose to participate in this event must ensure they can competently swim and cycle and have the correct gear to compete safely. It is a good idea to check bikes thoroughly before the day to ensure they are safe. Please note that cyclists must have a helmet, shirt and shoes.

The swim leg takes place at the Bell Block Aquatic Centre, the run takes place inside the school grounds and please see below for a map of the cycle leg.
