Lawn Bowls

On May 13th, fifteen students from year 9 and 10 proudly represented Gladstone High School at the MNSEC Lawn Bowls Competition in Booleroo. The weather was perfect, making it a delightful day out. We formed five teams of three players, with only one 'affiliated bowler' among them. Here's what our students had to say about the experience: 

“Jakobe, Charlie and I came third overall. We worked well as a team. Jakobe was especially helpful when he was skippering, telling us where to aim. The best part was when we beat Daisy, Riley and Bella by 9 points”. Chloe Nettle

 “Charlie, Chloe and I did best, beating all other Gladstone teams. We worked well together as everyone has had experience”. Jakobe Evans

 “It was really good, I feel I improved a lot”. George Rackham

We continue to have lots happening in the sports arena, including Adelaide Athletics towards the end of last term, and so far this term we have had an AFL 9’s Carnival for Year 7 and 8 students at Jamestown and a Lawn Bowls competition for Year 9 and 10 students at Booleroo. A number of students have been selected to represent GHS in MNSEC football teams, with the Year 9/10 Boys team playing last Wednesday in Port Pirie. We also had 3 students compete in the recent Cross Country qualifying event at Wilmington, and all were successful in being selected to attend the State Cross Country Championships in Week 6 at Oakbank. Coming up in the next few weeks there will be the Statewide Netball carnival in Port Pirie, as well as Open Mixed Hockey in Kadina. None of these events can go ahead without the efforts of our students, teaching staff, SSO’s, bus drivers, parents and other volunteers who assist with umpiring, timing, coaching, transport and supervision, and we are extremely grateful.
