Lawn Bowls

On Thursday 5th November, it was a brilliant day to stroll through the Waitara community to attend lawn bowls at the Clifton Bowling Club...

Fellow class mates getting ready to test their skills

Students learned different terms for lawn bowls - such as the 'bias,' 'dead bowl,' 'forehand draw,' 'the jack,' and 'the head.'

Cameron has a steady aim to reach the target

Great bowl Ngapuhi!

Beautiful technique Ashlee!

Everyone trying their hardest to hit the target
