Year 1/2

The last few weeks have been very busy, especially for our 3-6 students 

Our Year 1/2 students have been learning a range of basketball skills, including dribbling and passing. It has been great to see students developing their confidence and working together during our activities. Next week, we will focus on the skill of shooting and put all of these skills together in some fun mini basketball matches!

Our Prep and Year 1/2 students are also looking forward to commencing a two-week swimming program from Monday 24 August. Students will participate in 30 minute swimming lessons, where they will develop important swimming skills and learn about water safety. We are looking forward to seeing students build their confidence and skills in the water!

Year 3/4 & 5/6

Our Year 3/4 and 5/6 students have been learning and competing in discus, the final event leading up to District Athletics on Thursday 27 August. It has been fantastic to see every student from Years 3–6 participating, having a go and trying their best in each event at Athletics Day, as well as during our PE lessons this week. We are incredibly proud of the effort, enthusiasm and sportsmanship students have demonstrated!

A special congratulations to all the 3-6 students who have made it into the district events. We are very excited to see everyone having fun and trying their best on the day.
