Rocky Trail Academy Sunshine Coast Schools Mountain Bike Competition

On Thursday and Friday, 8th-9th August, several students from our school participated in the Rocky Trail Academy Sunshine Coast Schools Mountain Bike competition. Throughout the event, these talented riders showcased the skills they have been honing during their Friday afternoon coaching sessions, tackling various weather conditions, from bright sunshine to overcast skies and rain.

Among the standout performances were Oliver Johnson, Nicholas Suosaari, and Charlie Schefe, who all secured top 10 positions in their respective categories. Sam Schefe also put in a strong effort, finishing in the top 20. Their hard work, determination, and passion for mountain biking were evident as they navigated the challenging courses with confidence.

A special thanks goes out to our dedicated volunteer helpers—Dean Harding, Charles Ford, and Mark McCallum—whose support was invaluable in making this event a success. Their contributions, both on and off the track, ensured that everything ran smoothly and that the students were well-prepared.

Congratulations to all the boys who not only gained valuable experience but also represented our school with pride. Their achievements are a testament to their dedication and the effectiveness of their training. We look forward to seeing even more success in future competitions!
