Sports Trials Success
Congratulations to the following students who were selected Bowen Sub District Representation. We wish all these students the best at training in these teams and their upcoming Whitsunday trials.
Bowen State Ballerz
The Ballerz have started this term with two very close and competitive games last week. After leading last week early in the game, they were overrun late, ultimately going down by 2 points. In their most recent game the Ballerz reversed this result having a 2 point win. This was a great performance given the fact they only had 5 players available. Well played Ballerz!!
Before School Cross Country Training
Cross Country is off to a fantastic start with huge turnouts on all mornings. Boys and girls from years 3 to 6 have been working hard putting in many kilometres in hot and challenging conditions. These sessions will continue on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8am. Please note and put in your diaries, our school cross country event will take place on the first Tuesday back of Term 2, Tuesday 16th April.
Sports Equipment Borrowing
A big thank you to our Year 6 student leaders who have begun lending equipment out to students during first and second breaks. They will be set up under C block and students have been informed and encouraged to borrow equipment.
Lunchtime Basketball Competition
Something new to Bowen State this year will be our lunchtime basketball competition which will start next week. There has been a huge response from our Year 3 to 6 girls and boys with over 100 students signing up for this competition. There will be more information about this in the coming weeks.
