Otago Secondary School Bowls Championship 2025

On Sunday, 23rd March, 24 enthusiastic students gathered at the Milton Bowling Club to compete in the Otago Secondary School Bowls Championship. With 12 teams playing under the Hong Kong Pairs format, the event saw strong representation from Tokomairiro High School, Logan Park High School, Kings High School, and Columba College. Although students from Bayfield High School, South Otago High School, and St Clair Primary had initially signed up, unforeseen scheduling conflicts unfortunately prevented their participation. A notable presence came from Logan Park High School, led by Dan Greer, who brought a large contingent of students. Many of these students had previously trained indoors, making this their first experience competing on an outdoor green. Despite morning rain, spirits remained high, and players delivered some spectacular performances, showcasing the promising future of bowls in Otago. A special congratulations to our overall winning team of: Dylan Carr (Tokomairiro High School/Waihola Bowling Club) and Addison Johnston (Tokomairiro High School/Brighton Bowls Club). Runners-up were Hunter Dodds (Tokomairiro High School) and Jake Ward (Kings High School/Caversham Bowling Club), who put up a strong performance throughout the competition. A huge thank you to the Milton Bowling Club for hosting the event and to all the volunteers whose dedication and support ensured the tournament ran smoothly. Your efforts continue to foster the growth and enthusiasm for bowls among our young athletes. We look forward to seeing even greater participation and competition in future events!
Dates to Remember
Impressive Attendance Rates
A few weeks ago, Mrs Wish shared how proud we were that Tokomairiro High School’s attendance had been above both the Otago secondary school average and the national average every single day in the first month of the school year. She is delighted to say that this trend has continued! Regular attendance is key to student success, so a huge thank you to our students and whānau for making it a priority.
