STUDENTS at Tooradin Primary School had a wheely good time recently at an event to raise money and promote physical activity.
The school held its bi-annual Wheelathon event on Friday 25 October where the whole school completed as many laps as they could on their set of wheels to raise money for new maths resources for the school.
A parade was held at the start of the day where students showcased their decorated bikes, scooters, billy carts and even a few wheelbarrows.
It was down to business after that as students set off on their laps.
Teacher Stacey Parsons said the event, which was run by the students of the junior school council, was a great success.
“The Wheelathon is a great way to raise money, keep fit and healthy and have lots of fun all at the same time,” she said.
“Overall, it was a terrific event with over 5000 laps completed. That’s an average of 25 laps per student.”
