On Monday 28 November ten Oxford Area School students participated in this year's pairs mountain biking event which is a fundraiser for Sefton School.

Parents, riders, bikers and energy were the ingredients for a fun 3-hour bike race on the Rakahuri Mountain Bike club tracks. All riders rode in pairs with the first rider going out and tagging the second rider once completing the lap. This continued for 3-hours alternating the pairs trying to complete as many laps of the course as possible. Representing OAS were:

William Shore & Will Glassford
Eru Te Awa & Dominic Mullis
Jade Saunders & Scarlett Griffiths
Hana Te Awa & Jamie Stubbs
Nathaniel Mullis & Tamati Te Awa

Congratulations to you all for competing in this event.

Special thanks to all the parents who supported the riders, in particular Di Te Awa who took the role as the person in charge. Your support is invaluable to all involved. Thanks
