PE Week
Physical Education Week promotes and highlights the importance of Physical Education in the Australian Curriculum. The week is a designated time to emphasize the importance of physical activity, health, and well-being.
In the senior school, the PE department and 2024 Sports captains organised various activities and events to promote physical fitness and encourage students to participate in sports and exercise. This included a morning Kahoot, which was won by 11 Red. On Tuesday the Gym was open to all students to engage in activities they enjoy, including Just Dance, table tennis, volleyball, badminton and a half-way basketball shooting competition. Well done to Liran Ma for winning this competition.
On Thursday the staff competed against the Student Executive in a game of Volleyball. The Staff team won convincingly, two sets to zero. The staff team was coached by Coach Cobb, and included the following players, Volleywood Kiosses, Big Hitting Baker, Senior Searle, Blocker Bobble Hains, Spike McRiley, Bradz Braddock, All Arms Archard, Benchwarmer Bond, Ace Glyntura and Killer Kendall. #We are not old, we are staff gold!
Finally, on Friday, six teams competed in the Annual Bench Ball Competition which was a real spectacle. It was played with high energy and comradery.
We were also fortunate to have four Adelaide Football Club Women’s Players, Caitlin Gould, Sarah Goodwin, Brook Tonon and Eloise Jones, attend the Junior School at lunch time on Friday to sign footballs, shirts and shoes before a Q&A Panel at the Junior School Assembly.
The girls were super excited to meet their heroes today and we thank Mrs Molly Scott for organising such a fantastic opportunity for the girls!
Thankyou to everyone who got involved in the week and lets stay active.

This year we had many old scholars and parents who strengthened our sports program by giving up their time to coach and share their expertise with our students, a huge thank you to these individuals. Thank you also to the many people who have generously supported the co-curricular program this year, such as the students, coaches, teachers, and venue supervisors. Thank you also to our Loreto parents for supporting their children in so many ways and giving them the opportunity to participate in these sporting events.

AFLW
Well done to our three AFLW teams who finished their seasons with matches on Wednesday afternoon. The girls have had a great term, had a lot of fun and improved throughout. Many thanks to our coaches Will, Phoebe and Kyle!
One of our teams however did encounter an example of poor sportsmanship in one of their matches recently. We were a couple of players short and our opposition kindly lent as a couple of players to ensure equal numbers on the field. However, those players didn’t try their best, deliberately kicked the ball the wrong way etc. It was a bit of a shock to our girls to see people not play the game in the right spirit.
A week later and the situation was reversed. Our team had some extra players and the opportunity was there to lend players to the opposition. Having been shown an example of poor sportsmanship, it was great to see all our girls put up their hand to fill in for the opposition and to try their best. Our girls were determined to show good sportsmanship after the poor example from the previous week!
Year 6 Netball
We are looking for a couple of extra players to bolster our Year 6 (students moving into Year 7 in 2024) netball teams on Friday nights. We are skating by with 7 players at present but would love a couple more. The teams are performing very well! Please contact Ben at Ben.Johnswood@loreto.sa.edu.au if your daughter was interested in playing.
