Years 5/6 Campaspe Lawn Bowls Tournament

On Thursday 28th February, eleven Years 5/6 students made their way to Moama to compete in a lawn bowls competition. When we arrived at Moama we couldn't believe how good the facilities were! It was very hot, but we were lucky enough to play under the shelter for all our games. Out of all our matches we were able to come away with a few wins! Although we didn't make the Grand Final, we had a fantastic day playing lawn bowls and playing against other schools in our region. A special thank you to Bill Hatzie for helping out on the day.

Written by the lawn bowls competitors:

Charlie Coulston, Jacob Grima, Declan Reid, Steven Bassett,  Ben Dickinson, Alex Barnes, Damien Hatzie, Emily Barbagallo, Ruby Malerba, Tara Wakenshaw and Lily Pegoraro.
