Physical Education in Term 3

 

At the end of Term 2, an application was submitted for a Term 3, Sporting Schools Grant. Our application was successful, and $3,000 was granted to our school for Physical Education and Sports enhancement to be spent during Term 3.

The funding is currently being spent on intensive Basketball coaching for each grade 3-6 class in preparation for the annual grade 3/4 and grade 5/6 Southport Basketball Gala Day at the end of Term 3. Each class is engaging in four sessions with one of our professional coaches. We have also purchased custom made CPS Basketball pole padding for our school grounds.

 

Over the past two weeks, our grade 3-6 students have been enjoying a unique opportunity to learn from two professional basketball coaches from the McKinnon Basketball Association (Briana or Dean), right here on our school grounds.  The coaches bring a wealth of experience and expertise, enriching our students’ understanding of basketball. We’re thrilled to report that the program has been a resounding success so far! Our students are not just benefiting from the top-notch coaching, but also building their confidence and forming lasting memories with professional basketball players and coaches.

 

With two more weeks to go, I can’t wait to see the continued growth and progress of our students. Stay tuned for more updates.

Visit from Hiroshima Jyogakuin

 

We had visitors, Year 9 and 10 students from Hiroshima Jyogakuin in Japan on Aug 3. They were visiting Kilvington Grammar School and came to Caulfield Primary School to do cultural activities. Students had a good time, were excited to learn origami from them and Year 3/4 students joined in dancing ‘Soran-bushi’ with them even though a lot of them had said earlier, “I don’t want to perform Soran-bushi in front of the students”.  They joined in without being asked.
