Our students participate in various sporting events and activities during the year. Everyone has a go - trying out new skills and striving to meet their personal best sporting goal. Arcadia spirit always shines through in our students, either while participating or supporting their peers from the sidelines - Go Arcadia!
Arcadia Public School is proud of our students who are a part of the Arcadia Equestrian Team. The Arcadia Equestrian Team regularly compete at Interschool competitions.
The APS Equestrian Team has been very busy in Term 1.
The Arndell Showjumping competition was attended by Aurora, Clarisse, Toby and Matilda. Clarisse, with her horse Poppy, finished 3rd overall in the 45cm class.
Our school, also very proudly Arcadian of Aurora and Matilda, along with their horses, who competed at the NSW State Interschool Championships; a great achievement. Matilda, with her pony Bevanlee Encore/Corey; placing 11th out of 16 riders from her rider class, led and ridden class.
'It was a great experience. I went to compete at the State Interschools Equestrian event at Sydney International Equestrian Centre. Over 5 days different events were held. Matilda competed in the show riding event and I competed in the combined training event. All the horses and riders were very competitive and it was a very tough event to win.
Unfortunately my horse, Arlee, was spooked during jumping and we did not finish. We were awarded 17th place for dressage.' - Aurora
Well done APS Equestrian Team, we are proud of each of you and your horses.
