Specialist Feature News: PE

Selamat Siang, 

What a big few days it has been in the Physical Education department at MPRPS this last week and a half! Two big events featured on the calendar, both in successive days! Firstly our 5/6's recently competed in the 5/6 Summer Gala Day at Mahoney's reserve, Donvale reserve and Doncaster Tennis Club.  Students competed in European Handball, Volleyball, T-Ball and Hot Shots Tennis Competitions. Congratulations to all students for their participation in the events across the day and particular well done to both our T-Ballers and Hot Shot Tennis players who were Runners Up and Premiers respectively. 

Our second event for the week was our much anticipated Colour Run 4 Fun. Students have been steadily raising money over the last few months to help funds for an Outdoor Classroom. At 2pm on Friday afternoon, students were able to size up the course and get ready to get SLIMED and PAINTED! Students had an absolute blast running around the course completing the novelty activities whilst also getting all the various Colours on them. We think the photos below say it all...

Terima Kasih, 

The Specialist Team

Yana Gill, Marissa Mundy, Hamish Burrill, Steph Muratovic, Beth Cardy and Natalie Palmer.
