NQ Athletics Trials

Congratulations to our 6 athletes that competed at the NQ athletics carnival in Townsville on Tuesday. I was lucky enough to be there for the event and see many of our students compete. In very challenging, cold, wet conditions, they all did an amazing job and should be very proud of themselves. Congratulations to Kerry A, Emma S, Megan D-A, Charlee S, Taijanah N and LJay B.

Juggling

There is a separate write up on our juggling day and disco in this week’s newsletter but I just wanted to say how proud I am of this group of students who have worked so hard and given up so much time to make Friday possible. It was an incredibly successful day and considering juggling is a new thing to Bowen State School what a show it was!!

Boot Camp

Boot Camp continues to occur every Monday and Wednesday in the hall from 8am. We have had good numbers in attendance and it’s already showing how much fitter and stronger this group of students are becoming. If you are in grade 5 or 6 and would like to join in please get a notice from the office.

After School Basketball

After school basketball is coming to and end at the end of this term. The girls teams are in a 5 game series with the Lady Lakers currently leading the Bowen Suns 2 games to 1. The boys will start their 2 week final series next week. Keep an eye on Facebook for all of these details.

Our latest MVP’s for games played on the 1^st September were Cody H, Emma S and Anthony C. Congratulations to these players.
