Last week, 35 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 travelled to Perisher to compete in the Interschools NSW State Championships Snowsports. The snow conditions were holding up, considering the very warm temperatures. For the first time, we had two teams competing in Division 1 Alpine and Division 2 Ski Cross which demonstrates the increased depth that the team enjoys after years of dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the time that we have on snow, our boys have demonstrated terrific success throughout the week. Many thanks to all the parents who served as Course Volunteers and Team Managers, we couldn\u2019t do it without you. Special thanks to Mr Massey, out bright and early every day handing out bibs and getting around to the courses to support the boys. Nationals next week\u2026 GO SHORE!!!!!!
