PE

In PE we have been busy learning and practising events for our Whole School Athletics Carnival. Over the last two weeks, students in Prep - 2 have been focussing on sprinting, shuttle relay, vortex and tunnel ball. Students in 3 - 6 have been refining their technique in sprinting, shot put, discus and hurdles. 

The carnival will be held on Tuesday 29th March at Morrison Reserve Athletics Track. Please contact me on Compass if you are able to help out on the day. No experience required, but all helpers must be fully vaccinated and hold a current Working with Children Check.

Perceptual Motor Program (PMP)

Over the past fortnight, our Prep students have participated in activities practising the following skills: eye tracking, crossing the midline of the body, ball skills, balance, locomotion, hand-eye coordination, skipping, hoop jumping, tunnel crawls and fitness. A big thank you to our Grade 5/6 students, who have shown great leadership and enthusiasm whilst assisting with these sessions.

Interschool Sport

Our Grade 5/6 Summer Sports Robin Day has been locked in for Thursday 31st March. We will have 8 teams participating across the four different sports: 3 x volleyball teams, 1 x softball team, 2 x cricket teams and 2 x tennis teams. As soon as venues have been finalised, the notice will go on Compass. We will require helpers on this day, to support each of our 8 teams. Please keep this date free if you are able to help out.
