Year Three and Five Swimming Program

The Year Five students began their two week intensive swimming program at Keilor Leisure Centre on Monday the 29th of July.  The program has been action packed with lots of fun and learning. The Swimming in Schools initiative is designed to increase opportunities for students to learn how to swim, and ensure they develop lifelong skills in swimming and water safety.  

The Year Three students will be beginning their two week program next week on the 12th of August.  

Swimming and water safety education is embedded across all bands of the Victorian Curriculum. By the end of Year Six, it is anticipated that students are able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge in the Victorian Water Safety Certificate. 

Fitness Unit

In Week Three of this term students in Year Thee to Year Six were provided with the opportunity to measure and track their own fitness through a range of fitness tests. 

The Year Three and Year Four students track their fitness through a fitness circuit program that incorporates reflexes, hand eye coordination, aerobic ability and core strength ability. 

The Year Five and Year Six students tested their fitness using the following tests: Beep test or 6 minute cooper run; vertical jump; sit and reach; 1 minute skip and 20 metre sprint.  

The students get to assess their own abilities by setting goals and looking at improving their fitness each term. They also get to understand the benefits of being fit and physically active.
