Physical Education

Welcome to Term 3! All students have started the term with new units of work. Over the last two weeks they have been focusing on the following:

Prep – receiving a bounce pass

Grade 1/2 – The Olympic Games - gymnastics and badminton

Grade 3/4 – Invasion Games at the Olympics – basketball and soccer

Grade 5/6 – Sport Education. Each class has selected a sport, classified as an invasion game, to play in a class roster. 5/6A & 5/6P have selected netball. 5/6O & 5/6V have chosen basketball.

Division Netball

On Wednesday the 24th of July, our girls and mixed netball teams played in the Yarra Division Netball finals at Pinks Reserve. Both teams played tremendously well, demonstrating outstanding skills and sportsmanship, and finished the day undefeated. Congratulations, we are so proud of you! 

A big thank you to Mrs Wilson and Sally Smith for coaching the teams, and to the families who were able to support our students on the day. Both teams will now play at the Regional finals on Wednesday the 14th of August. Good luck!
