Physical Education and Sports Report

Prep & Junior PE

This term our Prep and Junior students have been learning AFL Footy and Soccer skills. Students have enjoyed playing games such as dribble red light green light and ruckman's treasure chest. Some of our students will also be enjoying a Western Bulldogs clinic on Thursday June 12th which will further embed their skills.

Middle & Senior PE

This term our Middle and Senior students have been learning about invasion games. Students have loved exploring strategies in small-sided games such as hoop ball. These small-sided games ensure everyone is actively involved in the game and provide less confident students the chance to shine in a team game. Students have progressed to playing full matches of netball and are now beginning to apply invasion games strategies to other sports such as rugby. 

In our lunchtime clubs our Middle students have been playing a netball class vs class tournament. They have played two rounds already with the third to be played this week before all 8 teams will play in a final's series. It has been fantastic to see the growth students have made since first learning netball in PE and the smiles on their faces after a win, a loss or a draw. Well done Middle students.

Interschool Sport

Term 2 is always busy for interschool sports. We had 22 students represent our school at the Division Cross Country with 3 progressing to the Greater Western Region event in Warrnambool. Well done to Kitarah, Judd and Grace for their efforts representing our school at Regionals.

Our three Winter Sports days were a success with many students trying sports they haven’t played outside of school before. Everyone had a smile on their face throughout the day. On our AFL 9’s day, our boys team had three wins and our girls team made the B Grade grand final, going down to a strong Miners Rest team. Well done to all students for their efforts at training and in the lead up to the event.
