Year 8 Bowling

Two words you’re unlikely to hear as a learning intention: STRIKE OUT!

Yet that was exactly the aim for a group of select Year 8 students one Thursday afternoon to reward them for the great work ethic they have consistently demonstrated.

Along with Mr. Bowen, Ms. Caldwell and Ms. Milne, we all headed off to the local bowling alley earlier this term and had a ball!

Highlights of the day included the introduction of the sport to recently arrived student, Neel Patel, who went on to bowl numerous strikes, so that he may be reconsidering cricket as his favourite!

The overall winner from the day was Mr. Bowen, followed closely by Ms. Caldwell*, but it proved to be a day of shared victories in recognising the students and their successes.
