School Sport 

Winter Inter School Sports

All students in Years 5 and 6 took part in the Winter Inter school Sports in Term 2 which consisted of  Bowls, Tag Rugby, AFL 9's, Soccer and Softball.  All teams played really well and some even made it through to the Finals in Term 3.  The Bowls, Girls Softball, Girls Soccer and Boys Rugby teams did really well and came Runners up in their competitions.  The AFL Boys and Tag Rugby Girls won their Final and so were named Premiers for the year.  Well done to everyone who took part.

District Athletics

Well done to all the children who took part in the Noble Park District Athletics last term.  We had students take part in Throwing, Jumping and Running events which took part at Ross Reserve.  There were lots of great results on the day with over 20 students making it through to the next Divisional Round in 14 different events.  Resurrection School came 2nd out of 13 schools, which is a great result for our students.   Well done.

Regional Athletics

11 students made it through to the South East Region Athletics at Casey Fields.  Here they competed in Shot Put, Discus, Long Jump, Triple Jump, 200m, Hurdles, 800m and Relay.   This was a big event with lots of chidren competing at a high level.  All the students did really well and had a great day.  Joshua did the 11 Year old boys Triple jump and jumped 9m 33cm to come second on the day only 3cm behind the winner.   He now goes to the State competition in November at Albert Park.  Good Luck Josh.

Play Club

Play Club will be running again this term at Resurrection, but we are in desperate need of more materials and equipment for the children to play with.  In Play and build club we see lots of children in Prep, Years 1 and 2 come to use the natural and loose play equipment we have on offer.  Our Mud kitchens are getting quite run down now as we have nowhere to protect them from the weather.  If you know of anything that will help with this, or have any more we can use, please let us know.   

Play Club is a place where children can build, imagine and PLAY.  There are no instructions or teaching going on and no rules (accept for our RESKEYS of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience). It is a place for the children to create, build, play imaginatively and just be themselves!  Studies have shown that play builds key aspects of children's brain development as well as being a healthy lifestyle activity, it also grows confidence in young people as well as helps connects individuals and communities. 

If you have any great equipment which can be used for the children to play with at our club please bring it in to reception.  Below is a list of recommended items (please, nothing that can break easily):

Planks of wood

Sturdy crates

Stainless steel pots, pans and utensils

Plastic cups, bowls, plates and utensils

Rope

Ground sheets

Thick pipes

Unbroken pipes

Buckets and spades

Baking trays

Kitchen untensils
