It's good to be back!

I’d like to thank all the staff that continued to run the PE program in my absence. Earlier this term I took some much needed LSL and finally did some travelling. I experienced the beauty of the

 Amalfi coast in Italy by boat and scooter. I was a student again and lost in the history lessons of Istanbul in Turkiye, as I learnt about the sunken city and the geographic significance of this part of the world. The weather was amazing and the food and sites were simply divine. As much as I miss the 30+ degrees, I am enjoying being back to my routine and being surrounded by the familiar faces back at SMPPS, doing what I love. Everytime I travel I grow a deeper appreciation for this part of the world, we call home.

Our year 3 and 4 students will all participate in the Hooptime Competition against other schools in our district at MSAC on Monday 12th September. The students have been preparing for this competition in PE lessons and also had a visit from Basketball Victoria’s coaches who were very impressed by the level of skill and teamwork shown by our students.
