PHYSICAL EDUCATION
What a huge term!
Students across all levels have been 'Accepting the Challenge' and working hard to improve their skills and personal confidence.
Collaboration and creative have been major themes in our junior grades, while the middle and senior schools challenged their bio-mechanics and reflected on ways to improve their skills and game strategy.
Well done to all the students on a fantastic effort in Term 1
SPORT
HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY
The Cross Country is one of the first big whole school events of the year. It was an amazing turnout by students, parents and families. The energy around the track was inpiring and lifted the runners wherever they ran. The school community is one of a kind.
A huge thank you to the staff, student leaders and parent volunteers for their support to help bring a high successful day to reality.
Final results will be published in a later edition once the points are calculated.
