Term 3 Remote Learning in Physical Education 

In a year like no other, Physical Education at EDSC has looked significantly different throughout Term 3. Taking the time to stay active, ensuring a balanced diet and taking extended breaks away from the computer were priorities for our students from Year 7 to 12 as they looked to maintain good physical and mental health during remote learning 2.0.

Students have participated in multiple sessions utilising different methods of training such as Resistance, Plyometrics, Circuit and Flexibility. These were done with minimal equipment and could be easily done within the constraints of being at home. Creativity has been shown in the way these sessions have been completed, with students using excellent problem solving skills and ‘thinking outside the square’ in order to get the best out of these activities. 

College community wide activities such as the ‘Virtual Cross Country’ and ’10,000 Steps Challenge’ have allowed students, parents and staff to participate in further activities to promote physical health and well-being whilst earning points for their house. The participation in these events has been fantastic, well done to those who have participated! 

We very much look forward to resuming on-site Physical Education classes when possible in Term 4. 

Stay safe and have an enjoyable and well deserved holiday!
