Physical Education
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education in Term 3 is focused on whole-body movement and control across the school. Students in Prep- 2 are currently undertaking a Gymnastics program with a focus on parkour. Our grade 3-6 students are currently involved in a Cricket Australia pilot program called 'Social Cricket'. The program aims to connect participants socially and improve personal well-being. Later in the term years 3-6 will move to a Gymnastics program.
SPORT
It's been a huge last couple of months for LysterSPORT. We have seen students and teams display amazing skills and teamwork while being challenged personally in some high-level events. Below is a quick summary:
Cross Country
Our team was exceptional placing once again in the top 3 in the district. We saw 13 students progress to the Knox Finals, then 7 qualify for the Eastern Regional Finals in Yarra Glen. Congratulations to the team for their effort and in particular Lulu S, Evie M and Luke W for setting new school records.
Winter Sport
The Winter Sports was another highly engaging and enjoyable event for the students participating across Australian Rules Football, Netball, Soccer, Teeball and Bowls. Students displayed an outstanding attitude and performed exceptionally well. Our Girl's Netball and Teeball teams along with Boys Australian Rules Football all progressed to the know finals. All 3 teams recently claimed victory at the Knox event and now move on to the Regional Finals in August.
Basketball:
Grade 3-6 students participated in Hooptime and District basketball competitions. Over 220 students took part and had an amazing time. Our teams led the way in attitude and performance across all categories. Our Middle School Boys, Girls All-Stars, Senior Girls All Stars teams and Future Stars (mixed gender) teams progressed to the regional finals. For these teams, Regionals will occur in October/November.
Our Senior District Basketball teams played a 7 game event, for a spot in the Knox Finals with both teams prevailing impressively.
