Camden
Terrific time had by all
Unfortunately things didn’t go our way when we contested the 47th Robert Montgomery Shield.
This year Cowra travelled to Camden High School on Wednesday June 6 and returned on Friday June 8. From all reports the students had a great time with their host billets, creating friendships that will last forever!!!
On Day 1 three sports were contested. The traditional Rugby League games for the senior and junior boys and for the first time, girl’s League Tag. The junior boys started the proceedings and it was Camden that drew first blood. The League Tag girls then had their opportunity to shine and they didn’t disappoint. The Open Rugby League game lived up to its anticipation with big hits throughout the game. Unfortunately, Camden were too good on the night.
On Day 2 the students were very busy going from one sport to the next. The sports played were soccer, basketball, netball, volleyball, cricket, hockey, softball and debating. Many games came down to the wire which showed the determination of all our students. Congratulations must go to the junior boys’ Soccer and junior girl’s Netball teams on their outstanding victories.
The social was again a massive hit for all the students. The theme was ‘The Decades’! Many students got in the spirit of the night but it was the Cowra High School staff that were crowned ‘best dressed’.
On Day 3 the students had a massive hill to climb. The sports being contested were Soccer, Basketball, Chess, Tennis, Oz Tag and Super Quiz. The highlight of the day was the Open Girls Basketball team who were super impressive in their victory.
Congratulations to the following students for being named Player of the Match.

I would like to congratulate all the students who attended the 2018 Camden Exchange. Their behaviour on and off the field was exceptional. The sportsmanship they displayed throughout the exchange was of the highest quality. I would also like to thank all the coaches for their hard work getting the teams ready and Mr Johnstone for his work organising the billets. Without your dedication this exchange wouldn’t have run as smoothly as it did.
