Celebrating Student Achievement
Last weekend, Jacob B laced up his running shoes, tied them tight, and joined thousands of other participants in one of Adelaide's most popular running events – the City to Bay Fun Run. The weather was perfect, with the sun shining brightly, creating the ideal setting for a day of outdoor fun.
With the support of his family and friends, Jacob tackled the challenging 12 kilometre course that led him from the city streets all the way to the stunning shores of beautiful Glenelg Beach. It was no easy feat, but he showed incredible determination and a strong spirit throughout the entire race, successfully crossing the finishing line.
Congratulations Jacob on such a commendable achievement.
