ALMOST 100 riders on postie bikes visited Bright P-12 College last Wednesday morning as part of their six-day 1300km adventure for the 11th Variety Postie Bike Dash.
And the visitors came bearing a special gift, donating $4680 to the college, as part of $32,000 given to schools on their journey, which started in Yass on November 3 and ended in Cootamundra last Friday.
“We were delighted to welcome the Variety Postie Bike Dash team of riders to Bright P-12 College," principal Jean Olley said.
"The atmosphere was one of celebration as the 100 riders stopped by our school for breakfast.
"The Variety Postie Dash's generous donation of $4680 will be invested in art supplies for our lunchtime art programs for all students from prep to Year 12 to enjoy as well as hiking packs for our very popular Outdoor Education program.
