SURFING FOR SPORT
Last Friday the weather was perfect for the second lesson of the Year 5 & 6 Winter Surfing program. A special thank you to Damion Koivu and Steve Pellen for assisting in the chilly waters on the day. The conditions were near perfect with a small, gentle swell breaking on the near shore banks. The program continues this week.

NORTH COAST CROSS COUNTRY
By Frankie Supple
On Monday morning I was attending the NC Cross Country in Lismore. My race wasn’t until the end of the day so we had to walk the track first. When we walked the track it was very wet and my joggers got really soggy. The track was much different to the dirt track in Kempsey. The track conditions were quite good except that the grass was quite long and wet. My run wasn’t until 1.00. When I ran I rolled my ankle and it really hurt. In the end I came 6th and that means I’m going to Sydney. After the run I was really red and had a stitch. I was so proud of myself and excited for Sydney. My mum couldn’t believe it and that’s the end.
By Wilton Townsend
On Monday morning at Lismore I did Cross Country. We had to walk the track. It was a bit wet but it dried up quickly. My race was not until the end of the day. When it started we ran into the bush. I came in 7th place so that means I am the first reserve. My time was 11.26 and my time at LNC was 12.06 so that means I beat my personal best by 40 seconds. While I was running I was throwing up and that is the end of my story.
