On Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th of November six South Grafton Public School students represented the school with PRIDE at the annual Clarence Valley Equestrian Challenge. The 2 day event began with a Grand Parade where over 150 individual riders represented 15 schools and districts from Port Macquarie to the Queensland border. The riders then competed in a range of equestrian disciplines: flat riding, dressage, show jumping, team penning, sporting and a schools relay event over the 2 day event. Our students were represented in all events over the competition and achieved some personal best results over both days.
The P&C are holding a Christmas Hamper Raffle to be drawn at the Carols on the Green. They are asking the community for donations of Christmas themed non-perishable food items. Any donations can be left at either office. Thanks for your support. More information contact Kelly Vickers on 0419 162 075.
