Goal Achieved

Over the past ten weeks, five of our students participated in The Run Beyond Project, committing to regular training sessions around the Oberon area. Their hard work paid off last Sunday when they achieved their goal by completing a 10km race as part of the Three Bridges Run in Parramatta. Well done to Abbey Carberry, Trai Davies, Oliver Ryan-McDermott, Angus Ryan-McDermott and Monorith Yee. A special mention to Monorith who placed 4th in his age group and completed the 10km run in 55 minutes. Thank you to Mr Ray Sargent for attending the excursion and for running on the day.
