During term 3 at Bombala Public School the Game Development Officer from the National Rugby League (NRL), Damian Kennedy held sessions with students from K-6.

A Bombala Public School representative said that the children had not only learned new skills but also had great fun playing a new sport.

“Thank you Mr Kennedy for sharing your expertise and teaching us many new skills. We look forward to NRL at Bombala Public School in 2018.”

On Wednesday, the Bombala lady golfers braved the cold and extremely windy weather conditions to play a Stroke for J. Cowell Trophy and Putting on Wednesday. The winner was Eva L’Estrange with the good score of 71 nett considering the conditions.  Balls went to Joy Douch 73 nett and Heather Brown 78 nett. Putting was won by Jean McLean 30 putts.
