P.E.
It has been an action packed start in the PE department this year to date. It has been wonderful welcoming back our fabulous students and also welcoming a number of new students to our school. Students have settled in very well to their weekly sport classes. We have been very pleased with the sportsmanship, team work and participation levels demonstrated by our students.
Here are some highlights of two recent events:

A huge congratulations to Ayvah (backstroke) and Shenuli (butterfly) for winning their respective events. We wish them all the best for next Monday the 28th of March where they will compete in the Southern Metropolitan Swimming competition held at MSAC in Albert Park. |
T20 District Cricket (5/6 Students)
On Wednesday the 16th of March we had 28 students compete in the Edwin Flack District Cricket Competition. We had two boys teams and one girls team compete on the day. It was a beautiful day for cricket. Conditions were perfect. All three teams met some tough competition but gave their best and more importantly, had a lot of fun. Thanks to Mr. Werner, Mark Dinnie and Mr. Cutting for coaching on the day.
