Ninja Course at Bowen Public

A brand new ninja equipment course was unveiled at Bowen Public School earlier this week with students eager to test their abilities.

Relieving Principal, Marianne Pankhurst said, “We started to put some little pieces in place when Mr McPherson was here as Principal, and the kids were loving it so much, we invested in a big course. The students are all very excited to get on and have a go. It will be a great way to increase their strength, agility and confidence.”

Former Bowen School Principal, Mr McPherson attended the opening to officially open the playground. Stating, “It’s wonderful to be back and the ninja course looks fantastic. It’s going to be a brilliant addition to not just the school and the playground, but to your everyday activity.”

Four students were chosen to demonstrate the course in front of the school, as each student approached the dreaded ‘wall’ a chant began from the onlooking crowd…. “Beat the wall… beat the wall,” as the student completed the challenge an uproar of cheering and clapping took hold.

Year 6 student, Savannah Lucas said she loves the new course, “It was actually very exciting when we heard we were getting the new equipment. The wall part of the course is my favourite part, although it’s the hardest as you have to bring yourself over the top. I’m also excited to race along the course against my friends.”

The school was also sent an exciting video message from successful Ninja Warriors, Bryson, Ben and Olivia. As they congratulated the school on opening their own ninja course, ensuring they’d keep an eye out for future Ninja Warriors in the making. The video can be found on the Bowen Public School Facebook Page.
