Thank you so much to the BEE Centre staff, especially Lydan, who showed us around and answered our hardest hitting questions, Shauny who helped to organise our visit and Dannica who welcomed us and showed us where we needed to be.

NSW State Central Schools Touch Finals
In an exciting week of competition, our dedicated athletes from Boorowa Central Schools travelled to Dubbo to participate in the highly anticipated NSW State Central Schools Touch Football finals in Week 7. Their outstanding performance left an indelible mark on the tournament.
Our boys' teams showcased exceptional talent and teamwork throughout the competition. Both teams displayed unwavering determination, with just one loss between them. The Under 16's secured a well-deserved silver medal, while the Opens team emerged as the champions, taking home the coveted gold.
Despite hot conditions, our athletes exhibited exemplary skills and worked seamlessly as a cohesive unit to accomplish their goals. The tournament was filled with thrilling moments, and a few highlights deserve special mention.
One unforgettable moment was when Jacob K intercepted the ball in the nick of time during a match against Dunedoo Opens, securing a dramatic victory on the bell. Additionally, our Under 16's team delivered an exhilarating performance by defeating Coolamon with a last-play try after the siren.
In the end, the Opens boys finished with equal points as Coolamon, but their comprehensive victories over Bingara and Uralla secured them the championship on a count back.
These remarkable achievements at the NSW State Central Schools Touch Football finals reflect the dedication, passion, and teamwork that define our Boorowa Central Schools students. We are immensely proud of their accomplishments and look forward to even more success in the future.
