Catholic Primary Schools Athletics Carnival

Good Luck to our 54 students who will compete next week at the Catholic carnival in Bendigo. The carnival will take place on Thursday the 20th at Lar Birpa Athletics complex.

SIMON details have now been released.

St Joseph's Swimming Program

During week 7 students will attend a daily swimming lesson at Gurri Wanyarra wellbeing centre. The program is a school requirement as Swimming and water safety are included in the Health and Physical Education curriculum from Foundation to Level 10.

Students from Foundation to Grade 6 will develop;

Fundamental movement skills (FMS) – develop foundation movement and skills to enable students to participate in a range of physical activities. For example, floating and moving the body through water
Safety (S) – practise behaviours and skills to keep themselves and others safe in and around water. For example, sun safety, use of protective equipment and first aid
Lifelong physical activities (LPA) – understand that swimming can enhance lifelong health-related fitness and wellbeing

Please ensure that the parent form on Simon is completed as this will link directly to the swimming centre. All other details are accessible on Simon.

Sandhurst Division Netball

Our grade 5/6 students represented St Joseph's Proudly at the Netball tournament with both the Boys and Girls team undefeated for the day and winning Division 2. Excellent sportsmanship and high netball skills were demonstrated throughout the day.

Well done to both teams.
