A Race for First Place

During this school year there has been a friendly rivalry between Dixons and Gilmores/ Quilchenas to win the race from their schools back to West Richmond for after school care. The two groups usually arrive around the same time after school. Gilmores and Quilchenas arriving by bus and Dixons on foot. When the Dixons see the bus coming they will run as fast as they can to the entrance of the community centre. The moment the bus stops for the Gilmore and Quilchena group they all make a dash to the door. Both groups try to line up as fast as possible to win the prize of being the first school to enter West Richmond. They use encouragement and teamwork in an attempt to get everyone in their group in line first. The victory is quickly forgotten once the kids are upstairs but most seem to enjoy the bit of competitiveness outside the centre every day.
