Boys Touch Football

Friday 27th

July saw the Primary Boy’s touch team

travel to Coffs Harbour for the PSSA Knockout

Gala Day.

The Boys had a bye in the first round before

meeting Repton in the second round. The team

worked well as a unit with all 11 players

contributing to keep them in the game.

The match was a tight affair with the final score

being Repton 2 Bowraville 1. The boys were

unlucky not to have drawn the match with one try

being called back.

This meant that the boys were now out of

contention for the major competition but they

didn’t slacken off for their next match against

Sandy Beach.

The boys scored an early try and then the game

see-sawed until the finish with Bowraville taking it

out 5-4.

A big thanks to those parents who helped out on

the day and well done to the boys.

PSSA District Athletics

Last Friday 3rd

August 11 girls and 16 boys

represented Bowraville Central at the Nambucca

District PSSA Athletics Carnival at Nambucca

Heads.

All our students competed well and to the best of

their ability and represented our school with great

enthusiasm.

Our students achieved fantastic results in both

Track and Field events. The top 2 placed

competitors are now eligible to compete at the

Zone carnival in Coffs Harbour.

Year 12 Hospitality

Last week I took our Yr 12 Hospitality class –

Aemyn Connolly, Brittny Young, Mona Kelly,

Annette Kelly, and Maddison Wilkes, to Bonville

Golf Resort. We are completing a unit on Updating

Knowledge and Environmental Sustainability in

the Hospitality Industry. This unit requires an

excursion to a resort or hotel. Macksville High

students were keen to join us, as it was so

successful last year. We updated our knowledge

about legislation, safety food programs, different

departments and recycling. We also had time to fit

in a delicious lunch. Eve Riches

commercial coffee machine, organise and prepare

food and close down after service. The café is

open from 9.30am to 12.30am and the popular

cake and coffee offer is only $5.00! The next
