PE & Health

Here we are… the final newsletter of the 2025! Writing this always makes me feel like the year has absolutely flown by and that so much has happened, I can’t remember any of it. However, I will use this opportunity and time to reflect (and go over my plans and notes from the year) on everything that has happened. 

The best and most obvious place to start is with all of the amazing students I get to spend my week with. They make my job so much better with their enthusiasm, humour, love for sport and willingness to improve. I really am so grateful to each and every one of them for all of that!

So, let’s see what 2025 brought us in the sporting department….

• TABLE TENNIS 

• T-BALL 

• FIELD HOCKEY 

• INDOOR HOCKEY

• GYMNASTICS 

• ATHLETICS

• LACROSS

• GAELIC FOOTBALL

• PICKLE BALL

• ULTIMATE FRISBEE

• CRICKET

   

In between learning all these new sports, students were put through their paces in fitness circuits, dancing and the dreaded/dearly loved Beep Test. In Health classes, all students covered the topics of Gender Diversity and Gender Inclusion, both coming under the Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships program. Preps-Year 3 also covered Healthy Lifestyle and the Year 4-6s discussed Positive Body Image. The students are always so amazing during Health class and make such positive contributions, never forgetting the ‘Umbrella of Respect’ we all sit beneath…and should always have over us wherever we go in the world.

This year, we had a group of talented young athletes get themselves and our school through to the Regional Athletics with one making it all the way to State! Kaylee, you represented our school and yourself so admirably and with such grace. 

Just quickly, travelling back to the start of the year, we had the school Colour Run…so much fun and so very messy. We raised a very impressive amount of money for such a small school, it really brings us together in the spirit of community and shared joy. 

I think that’s it for me… thanks to those parents that put their hand up throughout the year to help out with sporting events, whether it be Hanging Rock Cross Country, Bendigo Athletics or the school athletics carnival. I always appreciate the help, it’s a bit hard to do without the help.

Have a wonderful Xmas and let’s make 2026 even more exciting, both on and off the sporting field!
