🦆 Hello from the Ridgeline Trail!

Thanks again to our amazing community for sharing photos of the Ridgeline Trail.

Each morning many families use this trail to walk or ride to Bellbrae Primary School and Christian College from Jan Juc & Torquay.

The Ridgeline has been an important community project and at SCEG we are very appreciative of all the volunteers who are continually working on this project.
