The Interschool Challenge is an Equestrian competition where teams of four take part in various challenges from Prep to Year 12.
A Good Samaritan in our midst
Just before 8am on Thursday 6th June, I was traveling through the busy intersection of Princes Hwy and Breed Street on my way to Melbourne for a course. Whilst changing gears going up the hill with traffic either side, my clutch went to the floor with no ability to accelerate. I managed to just make it to the right turning lane; the turn off for Mabel Street.
Still stuck in the middle of the highway, waiting for help to arrive, I saw Thomas from Year 12 walking across the highway coming towards me.

WOOLWORTHS EARN AND LEARN has now finished.
Thank you to all the families who have been collecting stickers on behalf of Flinders Latrobe City.
