On Tuesday, K-2 went on their excursion and explored the rich diversity of plants and animals in the beautiful Botanic Garden. We also enjoyed Steve McEwan’s highly interactive reptile presentation.

Matise – Trick Riding Trick riding is the act of performing stunts while riding a horse, like standing upright on a galloping horse, hanging upside down off the side of the horse while attached to a strap or jumping on and off a galloping horse. There are only a handful of trick riders in the country. One of our students Matise, is currently training as a trick rider with Mikayla Jade Barber who is the youngest performer in Cavalia and the Australian Outback Spectacular and is based in Brisbane.
