Winter Sport Round 4

Last Friday, our Year 5 and 6 students participated in Round 4 of the Winter Sport Program. We welcomed Colac Primary School to our school. Students competed in one of the following sports: football, netball, soccer, hot shots tennis, down ball and badminton. Well done to all the students who participated. Thanks to the teachers for their support with umpiring etc on the day.

Greater Western Lawn Bowls

The Greater Western Lawn Bowls Finals are quickly approaching. This competition will take place on Tuesday 2nd September at the Sebastopol Bowling Club. The students who have qualified for this event were lucky enough to receive some coaching advice from players from the Lake Colac Bowling Club last Friday. We are very grateful to the bowling club for their support.

Students will be sent out information for the Greater Western Lawn Bowls competition as soon as I receive it (sorry I currently haven’t received the draw etc.)

The Colac Lake Bowling Club is currently after new lawn bowlers to potentially make a Colac Junior Lawn Bowls Team. Free coaching is available for all students from 5.00pm – 6.00pm on a Monday.

Bowls is a fun and social game that everyone can enjoy. The Colac Lake Bowling Club is at 35 Moore Street, Colac. Please contact Ms Lynch if you require more information.
