PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Over the past few weeks in PE, students across all year levels have been developing their skills through movement, teamwork, and Cross Country preparation.

 

Our Foundation students have been building their Fundamental Movement Skills, focusing on spatial awareness, teamwork, and exploring throwing, pushing, kicking and catching with different equipment.

In Years 1/2, students have been learning basketball skills while preparing for Cross Country through games like Wolfs Den and relay races, focusing on starting techniques and breathing.

Our Years 3/4 students have wrapped up their Kickball unit and begun Cross Country training, alongside team-building activities and developing an understanding of rules and sportsmanship.

The Years 5/6 students have completed their interschool sport season, with a huge congratulations to our Volleystars team for placing 1st at districts! They are now shifting their focus to Cross Country, working on running technique and breathwork.

It’s been great to see students showing enthusiasm, resilience, and pride in their learning during PE.
