Sport and P.E.

In the Classroom - 

As we roll into the final weeks of Term One, our focus across all year levels in PE has shifted to cross country training! With the Cross Country Carnival taking place in the first week of Term Two, all of our students from F-6 are being encouraged to build upon their existing aerobic fitness levels and to begin considering things like pacing, breathing and responding to our body's signals. Obviously this looks quite different with each year level, but we are having success with this learning across all areas of the school!

Sporting Events - 

School Cross Country - 

Just a reminder that on Thursday 18th April, the first Thursday back in Term 2, our whole school will be participating in the BPPS Cross Country Carnival. This year we will be hosting the event at Leigh Park and, as always, parents are invited and encouraged to attend. More information about this event will come out before the end of term, but don't forget to squeeze in some training sessions over the holiday break if you have a chance to do so. Those students who have been regular attenders at Fitness Club over the past few weeks have got a nice little head start on their training and it has been great to see the effort and enthusiasm that these students have brought to these sessions! 

AFL Player Visit - 

On Tuesday 19th March, we had five AFL players from Richmond Football Club visit BPPS for a Q&A session with our students. It was fantastic to see so many students wearing their team's colours and also an amazing experience to hear from the players about some of the highlights and challenges from their careers so far. The fact that they were from the best team in the AFL was a nice added bonus as well! Well done to Archie Peck and Ethan Shaw, our Year 6 leaders, who did an exceptional job of hosting the session and making sure that everything ran smoothly!

Have a great holidays!
