After winning the overall aggregate for the Champion School for the last 3 years, we are once again looking forward to defending this title. Students are keen to get out on our BMX track to start practising. BMX is a great way to get fit, have fun and develop coordination and resilience. This is not a compulsory activity. School will run as normal for those students not wishing to compete in the BMX events. Families are most welcome to attend the events to support our school. For students to participate at the racing, a parent or guardian will need to be present due to the nature of this sport. Further information will be made available closer to the events.
