Trail Ride

A number of our Year 11 Sport Development students put their fitness and resilience to the test, completing a 38km bike ride along the stunning Murwillumbah Rail Trail.

Despite the rainy conditions, students embraced the challenge, taking in the scenery and tackling the gentle hills along the way.

A highlight of the ride was the 524-metre-long tunnel, where students navigated the cool, pitch-dark space using small torches to light their way.

On the return journey, they switched off their torches and relied solely on the light at the end of the tunnel and the voices of their peers to guide them through.

Mr Foster and Miss Gordon were incredibly impressed by the determination and resilience students demonstrated in completing the ride.

Just as impressive were the positive attitudes and team spirit they maintained throughout the day, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

EMF Training Session

Our Year 11 Sport Development students recently visited EMF Nerang as part of their Certificate III in Fitness, providing a fantastic opportunity to put their classroom learning into practice and explore a real-world fitness facility.

Students toured the gym and experienced the wide range of training styles and equipment on offer before taking part in a variety of activities and challenges.

They kicked things off with a cardio EMOM circuit using the FreeRunner treadmills, rowing machines and bikes before tackling the Ninja Warrior course.

Students challenged themselves to complete the obstacles as quickly as possible without touching the ground, demonstrating strength, persistence and determination throughout the challenge.

The group then explored the weights room and took on another class challenge using the assault bike before finishing the session with a well-earned dip in the cold plunge pools.

Impressively, a number of students managed to stay in the pools for the full five minutes!

A huge thank you to Cam Offerings and the team at EMF Nerang for welcoming both of our classes.

It was an excellent opportunity for students to apply what they have been learning through their fitness certificate while gaining valuable insight into the operations of a professional organisation within the fitness industry.
