Last weekend,  a small team of Scotch Oakburn students represented the school in the Launceston Rotary Club Soggy Bottom Boat Regatta.

The students have spent many hours designing and constructing cardboard boats in their own time during play breaks and even after school.  Five boats were constructed and in their efforts were rewarded with four of the five making it to the finish line.  Oliver Randall (Year 6), William Heckendorf (Year 6), Alistair Randall (Year 4) and Lawson Dray (Year 4) managed to take first place for the fastest time in the U12 Div 1 +3 team members. They were followed with a fast-finishing Isabell Underhill (Year 4), Elsie Workman (Year 4) and Alarice Patterson (Year 3) who placed second in this same category.

A great day was had by all, with the students demonstrating a strong sense of belonging and teamwork with pride. A huge thank you to the supportive parent group for their valuable assistance at the event.
