Sport & PE

Prep/1 and 1/2 in PE with Dave

Using our bodies to create power and learning what technique / body positions can alter the amount of power.

Today, the Prep/1 and 1/2 classes explored running and jumping techniques.  Jumping is a gross motor skill that helps develop leg strength and balance. It requires coordination of upper and lower extremity movements and is used during games and sports such as basketball and volleyball. Jumping is a building block for more complex movements, specialized skills, and general physical activity. It is a significant gross motor skill that supports muscle strength, bone strength, balance, health, and social interaction.

Divisional Swimming, Wodonga

Last Friday students who qualified for Divisional Swimming, attended WAVES in Wodonga. Loki, Cooper, Harry, Goldie, Queenie, Gen, Peter, Griffin, Luella, Ferdi, Cleo and Charlie along with a few students from Falls Creek and Tawonga PS, all participated in events.  At Monday's assembly our swimming participants reported on how they went.  There were quite a few PB's and couple of place getters. 

Reginal Swimm Cluster will be held on Wednesday 5th March in Shepperton. Good luck to Ferdi, Luella, Charlie and Cleo who will be attending the next round.

Thank you to parents and Steph for all your help on the day.  This ensured a great day was had by our students. 

Falls Creek Mountain Bike Interschools

The Falls Creek Mountain Bike Park is hosting the one day Victorian Interschools MTB competition.

This XCO - cross country Olympic event format race is suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike. There will be a shorter course for juniors and a longer more challenging course for older riders. Featuring on-road, off-road and the flowing single track Falls Creek is famous for. Students will loop the course multiple times and the fastest overall time wins.

This event format is intentionally designed to introduce kids to a variety of mountain bike terrain. All entrants will be covered under MTBA insurance and receive a snack lunch. The event features professional-level timing and will have first aid support.

Entries are now open for students in years 3-6 to register for the mountain bike interschools, to be held at Falls Creek. Schools from all over Victoria attend and participate in this event each year.  If you are registering, please make sure you link it to Mount Beauty Primary School.  This will all add points to our school as a whole, and will hopefully see the return of the trophy to our school.   Last year we placed 3rd, which was a tremendous effort from a small crew.

Please speak with Nicole or Amanda if you need assistance.
