Physical Education/Sport

Term 1

Division Swimming Results 

Well done to our Division Swimmers – Jayden and Matthew who competed at Aquanation on Monday 1 March.  Both boys should be very proud of their achievements as they competed against swimmers from other schools in the Maroondah Division.  Jayden place well in 10 year old boys freestyle and came 4th in the breaststroke.  Matthew came 5th in the 11 year old boys freestyle.  Great work!!!

 

AFL Incursion

Tomorrow all Mullum students will be treated to an AFL incursion on our school oval.  Students will attend the clinics with their year level during the day.  Students need to wear their normal school uniform (runners would be preferred) and ensure they have their hat and a filled water bottle (with water).

 

Grade 5/6       -     9.40am to 10.40am

Grade 3 & 4    -     11.10am to 12pm

Grade 1 & 2    -     1.50pm to 2.40pm

Foundation     -    12pm to 12.50pm

 

The session will be facilitated by SEDA College, a Sports Development College providing VCAL for senior secondary students.  We hope our Mullum students have fun!

 

REMINDERS:

Students are to wear their hats and bring a filled water bottle to Physical Education lessons.  Asthma puffers are to be used as a preventer before commencing sport.  If your child is unable to participate in a Physical Education lesson please provide a note to let me know.
