Southern Cross Cannonball Classic
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
HAWKER AREA SCHOOL NEWS
On Wednesday 21st May, Hawker School had some exciting visitors. About 40 of the riders taking part in the 2025 Outback Run of the Southern Cross Cannonball Classic stopped by for the kids to see their wonderful old classic motorbikes.
The riders can participate on any brand or model of motorbike, as long as it was manufactured before 1949 and is as close to original factory-issue as possible. They must all have support crew, including spare parts and tools to service the bikes if needed.
This year’s run was from Darwin to Victor Harbor and raised funds for the RFDS. It was really great to see so many beautiful old bikes in outstanding condition, and kids and adults alike really enjoyed the opportunity.
Thanks Southern Cross Cannonball Classic team, you made our day! Ride safe.
Regards,
Daren O'Neill

Walk to School Day this Friday
As stated last week we will be holding our Walk to School Day this Friday. Please forgive the 'time typo' where I incorrectly stated that it would start at 7.45am, the correct time for students and any interested parents to arrive is 8.45am. Meeting place will be Blue Burt Park.
From here we will leave from Blue Burt Park at around 8.50am in two groups:
- A riding group with Daniel Spick and Daren O'Neill supervising the riders. The riders will take a longer route back to school in an attempt to arrive at school at a similar time to the walkers. Riders will need to have roadworthy bikes and wearing helmets for the ride.
- A walking group with the rest of the staff on the day. The walkers will initially walk along Elder Terrace before turning left onto Flinders Ranges Way, then taking a second right onto Arkaba Street and heading down to the school.
We look forward to seeing our students and any interested parents this Friday at Blue Burt Park.
Regards,
