PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Our Striking and Gymnastics units have now completed and we are finishing the term with attention on Agility, Speed, Body Movement and fitness.

Recently our Grade 4-6 students engaged with young Australian Basketballer Tabitha Betson for a Q and A, and Basketball Skills clinic. In a further update, Tabitha has been ranked 80th in the Top 100 Girls High School Basketballers from across the entire USA by ESPN. Her performances in the USA have been gaining more attention and it was great to have our students engage an up and coming star of Australian Basketball here art

OFF TO THE BIG DANCE!!!

Last report we congratulated our Girls Teeball team on their success in reaching the Eastern Metro Regional Final. The event occured on Monday 21st with our team performing exceptionally well to reach the final. It was a hard fought out contest with the team losing the final by 1 run!

-- 2nd Place in Eastern Metro, an effort to be very proud about.

The following day Mr Wight and I were contacted by the State Manager for School Sport inviting our Girls to the State Finals. Their performance turned heads and in doing so they recieve a place in the Victorian final 8!

The team will compete in 3 pool games and if they top the group they will move straight to the State final and a shot at the title. The event is being held next Wednesday 6th September at Waverley Softball Centre, Wheelers Hill. If you want to come along and support the team make sure you are wearing RED and BLUE!
