Year 10 CAAF Excursions

Year 10 PE elective – Coaching And Advanced Fitness (CAAF) class enjoyed a couple of great off campus workouts this semester. In Term 1 we participated in spin cycle and body pump classes at Goodlife Gym. These were extreme workouts taken by some no-nonsense, commando instructors and our students rose to the occasion with great participation with sweat, lactic acid, fun, fitness development and fellowship as by- products!

The week before exams we ventured to Mt Lofty for a jog / hike. The original plan was to go to the 1,000 Steps in the Dandenong Ranges National Park but as they are still under repair after the storms of 2021, we had to make other arrangements. Students were reminded that exercise out in nature is beneficial for our mental health as well as physical health.

Other semester highlights included coaching the Year 3 PE class for Basketball and AFL, role-playing peer-coaching our class and fitness training and participating in sports like Gymnastics, Ultimate Frisbee and Volleyball. Students in Year 9 who live, breathe and love their sport are encouraged to consider this elective for 2023.
