Tyler Takes on Boccia Fun at the 2023 NSW School Sports Tournament! 🏆
Our super cool student Tyler had a blast at the 2023 NSW School Sports Unit Boccia Tournament in Sydney Olympic Park! Joined by his awesome mum and the amazing Mrs. Keighley, Tyler was part of the first-ever Boccia Championships, where over 60 students from all around NSW came together for two days of boccia magic!
Now, for those who don't know, boccia is like this super fun ball game that's a mix of bowls and petanque (A french type of bowls). Tyler, our champ, not only represented Boorowa Central but also the whole Western Region! Can you believe it? 🌟
Tyler had a blast playing in both team and individual events, showing off his boccia skills like a pro. The competition was tough, but Tyler faced it with a big smile and a whole lot of team spirit. Go, Tyler! 🎉
But wait, there's more to this story than just winning and losing. The tournament was like a big playground where everyone got to make new friends, learn new things, and become even better at boccia. It was two days filled with laughter, cheering, and good sportsmanship.
Mrs. Keighley, who was there cheering Tyler on, said, "Tyler and his new friends did an amazing job! They showed everyone that sport is not just about winning but also about having fun and making friends."
Therefore, we extend our congratulations to Tyler! As he truly rocked representing Boorowa Central School 🌟👏 🌈🌟
We're so proud of Tyler and can't wait to see more of his achievements next year at the Boccia championships. 🚀🌟
9/10 PASS
Hello Boorowa Central School and Community,
My name is Miss Size and I have had the privilege of teaching year 9/10 PASS for the past 2 weeks of my practicum. We have been learning about Australian Football League (AFL) during our practical lesson. The students have developed skills with hand balling, kicking and putting the skills into practice by playing a game of AFL. It has been excellent to work with the students and I would like to thank them for being eager learners of new skills during the lessons.
