Intermediate Lawn Bowls
On Thursday 16 February six Year 10 students attended the intermediate lawn bowls event at Hampton Bowls Club. We went in to have a fun time and support our school whilst learning some new skills, like how to actually bowl a bowl and hit a jack. Eventually we learnt how to play, through the help of some local bowlers!! There were lots of teams so we split into two teams and we each played multiple schools. Together we won lots of our games after getting off to a rocky start. Team A made it to the final. In the finals our opponent was Glen Eira Secondary College and unfortunately we lost.
Our hard work and newly learnt skills paid off as we had a fantastic time. Team spirt was flying high as a team MGSC lawn bowls cake was brought along with our journey and despite the hot weather we made lots of new friends and encouraged each other throughout the day.
A ten out of ten experience. If you ever get the chance to go lawn bowling you should definitely go.
