GBAS School Carnival
Background
The "Get To Know" Badminton in Schools program was introduced to the North Shore and Manly Warringah schools in 1990. In 1993, badminton became an elective sport in the Kuringai Zone (10 schools from Galston, St. Ives to Carlingford) and many students began playing inter-school competitions within their Zone.
Today, badminton is extended to schools in the city areas, Eastern suburbs, lower North Shore, Western suburbs and outer West. The GBAS School Carnival provides an opportunity for players from all schools to compete with their fellow students in the largest badminton grass-root event in the state.

The 2007 School Carnival was held at the Ryde Aquatic Leisure Centre with over 30 boys and girls teams. The committee would like to thank the school and teachers for their continued support of the event. Thanks also goes to the parents and the students who participated in this great event. To the helpers, a big thank you for your time and effort.

Of course, to the students who participated in the Carnival, it was great to see you there. Judging from the loud cheers throughout the day, I am certain you all had a great time. We hope to see you in our future tournaments!
