Fraser Coast Interschool Equestrian
Recently, 9 talented riders (and their horses!) represented St Luke’s at the Fraser Coast Interschool Equestrian Competition, held at the Maryborough Equestrian Centre. Myles Holt, Arielle Yunus, Lorelei Bertoli, Isabelle Holt, Suzette Holt, Mitchell Holt, Tom Collyer, Kael Yunus and Amy Collyer made the school proud as they participated in a variety of events from show jumping to hacking. The performance of the St Luke’s team was exceptional, as they placed 2nd overall out of approximately 50 schools! Congratulations!
Special congratulations to Isabelle Holt (Year 5 Champion), Suzette Holt (Year 7 champion) and Mitchell Holt (Year 8 Reserve Champion). There were plenty of personal best performances and ribbons to go around.
Equestrian is a sport that requires a huge commitment. Results aside, students are to be congratulated for the care, effort and time that they put into preparing for the event and during the event itself. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes and the students’ work ethic is to be commended. Well done, everyone.
Finally, the students could not have participated in this event without the support of their parents. Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Holt, Mr and Mrs Yunus, Mr and Mrs Bertoli and Mr and Mrs Collyer for everything that they did (and continue to do!) to support the students.
If you are keen to join the equestrian team – keep an eye on the notices! There will be a few meetings over the coming weeks to get together and look at the interschool events calendar for 2017.
Again, well done to all students on their fantastic achievements.
Miss Natasha Johnson
