Welcome back to another year of sports at Bowen State School. Due to our delayed start to the school year there are many trials happening in a short period of time.

Basketball Trials

Basketball trials have already taken place for our sub district level. We had nearly 50 students from schools in our district trial which was a massive number.

Congratulations to Charlee, Georgia, Ramsey, Billy, Riley and Deklan for making the team. They will now participate in the Whitsunday trials on Thursday 3rd March. Good luck to these six students.

Touch Trials

Touch Trials are taking place this afternoon at the Sports Complex. All the best to Lincoln, Riley, Deklan, Jacob, Lachlan, Ljay, William, Sebastian, Tobias, Ramsey, Charlee and Georgia. We will let you know how they go in the next newsletter.

We also have AFL, rugby league and netball trials coming up in the next couple of weeks. In the next newsletter we have the updates from all these trials.

Swimming Grade 3 to 6

Starting next week we have our swimming program starting for students in Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6. This will run for six weeks taking us right to the end of Term 1. The program will focus on water safety, educating students on how to stay safe around water and what to do in the case of an emergency.

We would love to have some extra help during this program so if there are any parents who are willing to assist please contact Leigh Dunn at school.
