Year 8 Self-Defence

During Term 3, our Year 8 students participated in a 5-week self-defence unit run by Allstars Defence.

The program was designed to equip students with skills that can significantly enhance their personal safety.

Skills taught included:

• Practical Real-Life Self Defence Skills
• Personal Safety and Awareness Strategies
• Confidence Building Techniques
• Safety Practices in Diverse Settings
• Escapes from Grabs and Holds
• Knife Defence
• Physical Striking and Blocking Techniques

• Everyday Item Utilisation for Self-Protection

   

Overall, the students enjoyed the sessions and learnt valuable skills empowering them to navigate challenging situations with confidence. 

Year 7 Tri-Tag (Introduction to Rugby)

We were fortunate in Term 3 to secure a grant through the Australian Government's Sporting Schools program, which enabled us to organise some Tri-Tag sessions run by Rugby Victoria for our Year 7 students.

Tri-Tag introduces students to Rugby Union through a safe, accessible, and fun format using a three-tag belt system to simulate match play. Students participated in these sessions over a 4-week period.

As the weather begins to warm up, we strongly encourage students to bring a hat and drink bottle to all HPE practical classes.
