And That's Nine!

What an outstanding day for St Mark’s at the Primary Champion Schools Triathlon, held last Friday at Champion Lakes!

Forty students proudly represented St Mark’s, competing in triathlon teams, while a number of students also put their hands up to take on the individual aquathon and triathlon events.

For many of our students, this was their first experience competing in a triathlon, but that certainly didn’t stop them from performing at an exceptional level. Through determination, teamwork and plenty of encouragement for one another, St Mark’s was once again awarded Best Overall School. Remarkably, this marks the ninth consecutive year that St Mark’s has won the event!

We also celebrated some fantastic individual and team results:

• Jed Caporn – 2nd, Aquathon
• Harrison File – 3rd, Aquathon
• Jack Flanagan, Joe Green and Jake Hillyer – 3rd, A Division Teams
• Kaia Davies, Zoe Elliott and Evie Holyoake – 3rd, Girls Division

While the results were certainly worth celebrating, what was most impressive was the way our students embraced the challenge, supported their teammates and represented St Mark’s with such enthusiasm and pride.

An outstanding team effort from all 40 students. Congratulations to everyone involved. You have done St Mark’s incredibly proud!
