Year 12 Sport and Recreation

As a part of their final assessment, the Shalom College Year 12 Sport and Recreation students have been engaging in community recreation activities in the format of Lawn Bowls. Over six weeks the students were coached by Brothers Bowls Club members Terry and Tim who gave up their valuable time (several times a week, often twice a day) to try and impart some of the foundational skills of lawn bowls to the Year 12 students.

Every student improved in their understanding of the game, the etiquette required in a game of lawn bowls and some students were even able to use strategy to successfully win the ‘end’. Most importantly some relationships were formed between these two gentlemen and the students, and many life lessons and pearls of wisdom were imparted from both coach and student.

Mr Craig Hammermeister and I would like to sincerely thank Terry, Tim and the Brothers Bowls Club for volunteering their time and facilities which allowed our students the opportunity to learn a new sport that they will hopefully continue to play long into their future.
