Downball Workshop
Students in Years 3-6 were very lucky to have the opportunity to participate in a Downball Workshop during their P.E. lesson. Coaches from Downball Australia demonstrated the game and students learnt the rules and strategies involved in playing the game. Downball is a sport that everyone can play! At the end of the session students received a free downball, and now we have students playing downball before school, recess and lunch times and after school!
GO ROWVILLE!
