Weetbix TRYathlon Report

Congratulations to the team of fit PDS students who participated in the Weetbix TRYathlon last weekend at Pt England Reserve.

Also a big thank you to the support crew for delivering the sports gear and children on time and to Judy Stitchbury and Richard George for supporting our students.

I thought the new venue worked much better as the space was more open, easier to get to and easier to watch all three disciplines.

I hope you all had as much fun completing the course as I did watching the event.
