Specialist Feature News: PE

Selamat Siang, 

This weeks PE feature comes to you from our Perceptual Motor Program run for our Foundation students! The Perceptual Motor Program or PMP aims to assist students in promoting and improving sensory function and to develop gross motor skills and a positive self-image. It assists in developing a child's perceptions and understandings of themselves and their world through movement and motor experiences. 

Multi-sensory activities promoted through the program are designed to develop each child's Gross Motor skills, fine motor skills, short term memory, eye tracking and language skills in a fun way. It gives the child experiences in seeing, hearing, touching, processing, making perceptual judgements and reacting. This is achieved using a variety of equipment during carefully sequenced activities which include running, hopping, skipping, jumping, balancing, crawling, climbing, throwing, catching, bowling, sliding, etc.

Terima Kasih, 

The Specialist Team

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