MUDRAT FAMILY BASS FISHING COMPETITION 🎣

What a fantastic day for the Merchiston community at the Mudrat Family Bass Fishing Competition!

Families enjoyed a day out on the water, with plenty of fishing, friendly competition and great prizes. A special congratulations goes to Dillon Strauss, Grade 2, who reeled in the winning fish of the competition. An impressive achievement from one of our young anglers! A special mention also goes to Seth Gillitt (Class of 2025), a proud Merchiston old boy, who took home Biggest Fish in the High School category!

A special mention goes to Mr Hansmeyer for his efforts and commitment to organising such a fantastic event. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this community event such an enjoyable occasion, as well as to those who contributed to the fantastic selection of prizes. 💙
