This fortnight in PE....
Students have been participating in Junior (F - 2) and Senior (3 - 6) Athletics Programs. We have been focusing on their running, jumping and throwing, skills that are essential in improving their athletics and sporting skills. We are also preparing for the Junior and Senior Athletics events, both of which will be held in the first half of Term 2. Make sure you talk to your child about the skills we have practiced in PE and always look for opportunities to develop and improve these at home.
