Well done and congratulations to ALL Year 5-8 Shotover students that competed in the Shotover Triathlon last week. The smiling faces were a clear indication that it was a great day out!

Last Tuesday, 13th October, we held the Shotover Triathlon. We had the perfect day for it, basking in the spring sunshine!

All the students participated as individuals or in a team and completed the Year 5/6 course or the slightly longer Year 7/8 course.

Here are the results from the Triathlon: Congratulations and well done to all Shotover students. The Shotover Triathlon was a fun morning and a great opportunity for each student to have a go and show true Shotover 'Values'.

Individuals and teams going through to Wakatipu Triathlon (28th October) will receive an email with details in the next couple of days. “Good Luck” to those going through to the Wakatipu Triathlon.

Note: Not all teams and individuals can attend the Wakatipu Triathlon this year due to a number of students being away on school camp next week.

A lot goes on to make an event like this happen; the logistics of moving and managing nearly 200 students in a range of events. We had a dozen awesome parents that pitched in and helped to marshal around the grounds, in transitions, by the pool side and at the finish line. It makes the day flow that much better with extra hands on deck. Thank you!

It was lovely to see parents and family members who came out to support and cheer on the competitors. Thanks also to the parents for dropping off and picking up bikes on the day.

Lastly thank you to the students of Shotover, the day was made that much easier with the children's enthusiasm and team spirit!
