HEALTH/PE

Term 1 has been a busy term with loads of sporting opportunities for our students both in the PE classroom and extra curricula. Junior primary classes have been focusing on learning fundamental skills such as running, throwing and catching. These skills have been practised through partner activities and team games. Upper primary classes have been learning the skills involved in tee ball and softball.

Sporting Schools

Specialist sports course

The Specialist sports course trials have been underway since the beginning of the term. We have been doing various fitness testing and learning how to increase our fitness. As you may well know the final 20 students will be chosen for the course by the end of the term. Due to their fantastic effort and superb behaviour, choosing the final 20 will be a difficult job to do. I’m really proud of everyone who has been trialling as they have all been putting their best efforts into doing their personal best. Keep up the great work.

House Captains

For those students in Year 5 and 6 house captain nominations form will be handed out next week. If your child would like to nominate please encourage them to begin thinking about what skills and attributes they have that would make them a good house captain at HEPS this year.
