Be Seen On Race Day With Danielle Mcdonald

July 11, 2024 By Roxane Manley

Danielle’s first senior Hattah race was a tough one, but after 5 long hours on the bike she managed to go P2 in class and 76th outright of 432 riders.


First ever senior Hattah prologue done. P1 in women’s, P63 outright. This is one of Danielle’s favourite races of the year.


Tough day for round 2 of @auspromx in Murray Bridge. A few bad starts put Danielle back but she was still happy to go 4-4 for a P4 OA.

PHS students had the opportunity to attend the LIVIN program. LIVIN is an organisation that wants to break the silence and spark conversations by encouraging all Australians to speak up and share what they are going through.


Students are now equipped with conversational strate­gies to drive stigma reduction around mental health, knowledge to identify warning signs, symptoms of mental health challenges, and practical strategies to help those around them struggling.


Thank you to Parkes Pharmacy who were sponsors for the LIVIN program.
