What an incredible afternoon of energy, grit, and high-fives! The atmosphere was positive, as our students took to Eastern Beach and Eastern Gardens for our annual school triathlon on Monday 9 February. From the first splash in the water to the final sprint across the finish line, the spirit of our school community was shining bright.
This wasn't just a walk in the park - it was a true test of stamina! Our athletes faced a demanding course that pushed them to their limits, including:
The hills of Eastern Gardens are never easy, but seeing our students attack those inclines with smiles was truly inspiring.
While we saw some students competing again in the triathlon, a highlight was the incredible number of first-timers. Stepping up to a triathlon for the first time takes a massive amount of courage.
A triathlon is an individual sport, but it felt like a team victory today. The sidelines were packed with supportive families and fellow competitors showing sportsmanship and pausing to encourage a peer or cheer on someone as they passed by was what this day is all about.
A big thank you goes to our SHC staff for your hard work to make this a positive experience for all.
Well done to all participants!
