Triathlon Reminders 5-3-25 - TOMORROW
We encourage students to bring their own helmet and Bikes. And of course, please do not forget your togs and a towel.
The school has a supply of bikes and helmets that can be used but being able to go straight to their own bike will prove quicker. Once personal bikes have been used they will be move to the side to allow for the next group of students.
All students are expected to take part in this fun sports event, and they have already taken part in a practice run last week.
Please encourage your child to have a shirt to put on as part of their transistion between swimming and cycling (HOUSE COLOURS).

The Triathlon will run in year groups starting at year 1 at 11 am.
