In 2006, Boraba Lower Basic School was
to host an
Athletics meeting for seven other schools in the area.
Here you can see them training hard
for the event.
All the schools have such meetings. The High Schools had met
at the sports grounds of Armitage High School at Janjanbureh.
There was fierce competition among the schools with many people
running their hardest despite the high temperatures in late
February.
Several pupils fainted in the heat and were carried off to be
fanned under an awning. They had been determined to win in front
of the many spectators.
By 2006 there was
a new Scout Group. They practised very hard, every lunchtime. The
Scout Master had trained one of the boys to be a Scout Leader and
he lead them very well indeed.
They were thrilled
when they were able to buy two drums, which helped to keep them
marching in time more easily.
