Ms Bos

What a fabulous start we've had to term 3 in PE and House Matters. This week in PE, students participated in Indigenous games observed around Australia within Aboriginal communities from Queensland, Southern and Western Australia.  In House Matters, students competed in our Minute-To-Win-It House Olympics. We can't wait to explore further sports and activities as the term progresses, from Taekwondo, Athletics, Gymnastics, Basketball, Jump Roping and more.
