School Sport with Miss Croker and Mr Edwards

Bowls

    In an exciting new addition to our sports program, the students in Years 5 and 6 had the fantastic opportunity to attend their very first lawn bowls session! This session is part of a two-week program aimed at introducing the students to a unique and inclusive local sport.

    Each student participated with enthusiasm, learning valuable new bowling skills while supporting and encouraging one another. It was truly wonderful to see everyone getting involved, showing great teamwork, and developing new talents in a supportive and fun environment.

    The afternoon was made even more special thanks to the expertise and generosity of Dan Hartwell, who volunteered his time to run the session. Dan’s knowledge of the sport, coupled with his approachable teaching style, made for an engaging and memorable experience for all.

    Lawn bowls is a sport that embraces inclusivity and caters to all levels of ability. The impeccably maintained lawn bowls field provided a perfect setting for our students to practice and improve their skills, regardless of their previous experience with the sport.

    We look forward to the continuation of this program and the opportunity for our students to build on what they’ve learned over the next session.

    A big thank you to April from the Crookwell Services Club, to Dan Hartwell for making this such a fabulous event, to Mrs Knight who organised this opportunity for the students, and to all the students who participated with such great spirit.

    If your child enjoyed the session and would like to continue learning, Dan runs junior training sessions (10-18yrs) on the weekends. For more information, please contact Dan directly at 0456 074 113, or reach out to April at the Services Club on 4832 1265.
