Lara to compete in Triathlon
Challenges are more easily embraced by some young people than others. We as a College love to celebrate the extraordinary feats of our students. One of our Year 12 students, indeed, one of our Sports Captains has managed to achieve something quite incredible. Lara Smyth has been selected to represent Victoria at the National School Age Triathlon Championships in Perth later this term.
Lara will be competing against the best school aged triathletes in the country. This is an extraordinary achievement for Lara and the school wishes her every success when she travels to Perth later this month. We will keep you all updated with her exploits and know that she will do her very best proudly to represent the state in such a challenging event. Good luck, Lara!
