We are excited to provide Secondary School students with the opportunity to participate in the 2018 ‘Mini Muddies’ School Mud Obstacle Challenge on Friday 1st June 2018 at Bago Vineyards. This event is the grand opener for the annual ‘Suck it up Buttercup’ mud obstacle race, across the same course. The course is approximately 8km, with over 50 obstacles and action stations to challenge students and take part in a fun team-building activity.

This excursion will take place on Friday 1st June from 11.00am and conclude at approximately 1.15pm, with students returning in time for class Period 5. The event will take place at Bago Vineyards, Milligans Road, Wauchope and students will travel to and from the venue via bus. Students will be excused from their Period 1 class at 9.30am and will be required to assemble at the front of the school for a briefing before a departure from SCAS at 9.45am.
