Prep
Perceptual Motor Program (PMP)
Preps have been participating in weekly Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) sessions this term. PMP is a movement-based program which helps younger students improve their eye/hand and eye/foot coordination, fitness, balance, locomotion and eye-tracking skills.
PMP cannot run without the support and involvement from parent or other family member volunteers. We have had fantastic help every week from our volunteers, who have engaged with enthusiasm and positive energy - THANK YOU! We also greatly appreciated your flexibility and patience when activities had to be changed or we had to get creative with the equipment! We hope you have enjoyed this time with your children too.
We hope to continue PMP in Term 3, probably during the second half of the term. If you want to volunteer to help next term, we'd love you to come along. If you haven't volunteered yet, just make sure you have a current Working with Children Check and have lodged the Child Safety acknowledgement before the first session.
Below: The children absolutely loved PMP, and along with our wonderful parent helpers, we had some fantastic Year 5 students join us for the final session last week.
