Duathlon 2020 The Physical Education department hosted the annual Duathlon last week. Last week, the Physical Education (PE) department hosted the annual Duathlon at school for primary students in Years 1-6.

Participants had to run, cycle and run. This was the biggest Duathlon ever held, with over 200 athletes crossing the finish line!

The event was supported by Secondary students who volunteered their time to help lead the younger athletes on the running course, and assisted in the bike zone. The PTA were also involved with supplying snacks, and lots of cheering!

It was a super event, with many children feeling encouraged by the previous years' Duathlon to take part, to learn to ride a bike and to be active with their family on the weekend in order to practice.

Congratulations to all students who passed the finish line and received a medal and a goody bag.
