It's been another busy fortnight for the PE department.

 

YEAR 5 TRIATHLON

Last week, the Year 5 students had a practise swim session in preparation for the triathlon.

 

On Tuesday or Thursday, to complete the triathlon the students were required to swim 4 laps of the school pool, ride their bike 4 times around the school carpark and basketball courts and then finish 4 laps of a run/walk around the oval. Participating in the triathlon was not an event where students were competing against each other, but an event that students could participate in and set their own personal goals of achievement. Many students were quite nervous prior to the event, but once they started their nerves disappeared and smiles appeared on their faces.

 

It was fantastic to see the students enjoying the new experience whilst being active at the same time.

 

Congratulations to the Year 5 students who completed the school triathlon.

 

Thank you to the parents who came along to support all the students as well as assisting with supervision.

(nb. Only a few select photos. I will try and place more photos on the final newsletter. Collages will also be placed on the Sports notice board.)

YEAR 6 2 X 1 SPORTS

Our Year 6 students have been participating in the 2 x 1 Sports program. This is program that introduces students to a variety of recreational activities within the Frankston area. Students were able to select from 6 different activities - Indoor Rockclimbing (Bayside Rock), Tenpin Bowling (Zone Bowling), Fitness Circuit (Input Fitness), Indoor Cricket (Frankston Indoor Sports), Tennis (Langwarrin Tennis Club) and Golf (Centenary Golf Club).

From these activities, the students participated in one activity last Friday and their 2nd activity today. They all thoroughly enjoyed their activities. The Year 5's will be experiencing the same program next week.
