FREE School Gym facilities open lunchtimes for senior students.

Dear Parents, 

With more emerging research supporting the importance of exercise and it’s positive impact on student’s cognitive ability in school, we are looking to provide more accessible modes of exercise to our students during their school day. The school gymnasium now has an upgraded space that facilitates strength and cardiorespiratory training for year students in years 10-12 to use for free, during lunchtimes from Monday through to Thursday each week. To prioritise the safety of our students we will have at least one of two accredited staff members observing the space while it is being used. Students will also be taught how to use the equipment and perform exercises correctly and safely, and continued guidance from our staff will be available to students at all times. Before students can have access to the gym, the school requires students over 16 to complete a pre-screening form themselves and parents/guardians of students under 16 to complete the form on the student’s behalf. A consent form will also need to be signed by parents and returned to the school.
