Year 8, Term 1 Martial Arts Therapy Program (MAT) 

Congratulations to our select group of Year 8 students who completed the popular 6-week Martial Arts Therapy Program.Run by experienced teacher and martial arts instructor David, the aim of MAT group is to teach students the value of focus, discipline, goal setting, teamwork and mindset.Last Tuesday, the program finished with the highly anticipated last session that the students have been working towards, which is ‘breaking boards’ of different difficulty levels. Each student made us proud by pushing through mental barriers to attempt or break boards that they initially felt were too challenging for them. 

They embodied the MAT group motto: Be strong. Be calm. Be kind. Try hard.

A select group of year 7 students will participate in the MAT program in term two.
