YEAR 5 TRIATHLON

On Tuesday and Wednesday, most of the Year 5 students participated in the school triathlon. With the poor weather recently, it was great that we were able to fit the triathlon in. Many of the students were quite nervous and apprehensive at the start, but it was always reiterated that it was an "experience" for the students, and not to be seen as a race. With this in mind, the students really embraced the activity, and set their own personal goals for them to achieve. Once finished, not only did the students feel a great sense of achievement, they loved the experience and wanted to do it again.

Congratulations to the Year 5 students who completed the school triathlon this week. Thank you to the parents and grandparents who came along to support all the students as well as assisting with supervision.

2 x 2 SPORT – YEAR 5 AND 6

Year 6 students thoroughly enjoyed the first of two sessions of their 2 x 1 sport last Friday. The program allows Year 5 and 6 students to experience activites that are part of the local community - Rockclimbing (Bayside Rock), Tenpin Bowling (Zone Bowling), Tennis (Langwarrin Tennis Club), Karate (GKR Karate), Fitness (Input Fitness). Golf was also another activity, but unfortunately Centenary Park Golf Club, double booked the dates with another school. Hopefully, this activity will be up and running next year.
