PE

First newsletter of the term! Let me start with two words…’Flag Football’! From Preps to Year 6, we are all deeply immersed in this brilliant game that has its origins in American Football. Flag Football fever has swept over the school with some students even getting their own footballs to practice with at home. This game allows students of all abilities to have a real go, whether it’s doing ‘the snap’ or being the Quarterback or being the running receiver, it’s great to watch everyone give it a go. I’ve had more than one student make the comment how great it is that no one has come into this game knowing how to play or really excelling at it, it feels like everyone is starting at the same place. I love that and to me, that’s what sport for young people is all about. The rules have taken a while to get our heads around but we’re getting there. Something else exciting about this game is that it is going to be played at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, a lot of our students will no doubt be watching!

Dancing is still a favourite warm-up for a lot of the classes, even the older students are loving it! The Preps and I were lucky enough to have a boogey with Jo this week…so much fun and such a healthy thing to do!!

A special mention to Lucy, Eliza and Kaylee for representing the Division (and LPS) at the Regional Athletics. The girls did an amazing job, doing themselves so proud. A special mention and good luck to Kaylee who is going on to the State Championships in Albert Park. Speaking of Olympics…

Have a great term everyone!
