SCHOOL NEWS

Congratulations to Jasper Caley who was awarded the year 6-7 Art prize from the Mallee

Fowl Preservation Group on Sunday in Ongerup. Jo McCubbing entered some artwork from

the Kondinin Primary School for the group’s 21st birthday competition following a

presentation from one of the representatives from the group and Jasper’s was chosen as the

winner. Some of the other pieces from our school were also given Highly Commended

accolades.

KONDININ BOWLING CLUB

Congratulations to the Bowling Club who catered for the Caravan Club of WA last Friday

night. Many compliments were received by the kitchen staff. Thanks to the boys for

tending the BBQ as the steak was beautifully cooked.

Many thanks to the Club President, Jim West, who took the visitors out on a bus tour on Saturday

morning which included a visit to Gary, Janet & Beau Repacholi’s farm where Mick Pratzky

exhibited great skill in shearing a ram for them and Janet provided morning tea. Thank you so much

to Gary, Janet & Beau for making yourselves and your ram available for the visit. The visitors

enjoyed themselves immensely and then returned to the Country Club on Saturday afternoon to

watch the AFL Grand Final on the big screen. There was a great turnout of local families as well to

enjoy the big match which, unfortunately, didn’t finish with the result many Fremantle Dockers fans

were hoping for.

Many thanks to Rob White for making the big screen available for the visitors to enjoy the game and

for shrouding the club in black plastic to block out the light. After helping Whitey take the screen

down along with all the associated paraphernalia, we realized the effort Rob had made in setting the

whole thing up. Thank you so much Whitey for your help. It was thoroughly enjoyed and we

appreciate your efforts.

Bowlers are reminded that the season starts this weekend with opening day on

Sunday 6th October. Scroungers have been going for a few weeks already and everyone is

encouraged to join the crowd on Friday nights for a roll. The green looks marvellous as does the

new fencing.

See you on the green!!
