WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE PE CLASSES

It has been an extremely busy term for the PE department:

• Open night
• Preps and Year 2 have enjoyed participating in the Gymnastic unit
• With Mrs Peluso being on LSL, the Year 1’s have continued to work on their Fundamental Motor Skills, whilst, the Year 3 have enjoyed a Soccer unit.
• Year 4 students finished off the Rounders unit and have recently enjoyed the European Handball unit. They have just started the Indoor Hockey unit.
• Year 5 students have been developing their netball skills, knowledge of strategies of the game. This is a Winter sport they may like to select next year.
• Early in the term, Year 6 students completed the last of the Year 5 and 6 Water Safety program. The were tested on the Victorian Water Safety certificate and then had two lessons on developing the basic skills of underwater hockey and water polo. The also enjoyed participating in the basketball unit. I was extremely impressed with the way all students embraced the unit. Students who play basketball on a regular basis were great team players, helping to develop the skills of the less experienced students. 

If you are interested, there are collages on the PE notice board, show casing some of these programs.

DISTRICT ATHLETICS REPORT:

Wow, what a fantastic effort from our students at the District athletics! On Monday 7th September, 68 students competed for LPPS in both field and track events. The support the students gave to each other was fantastic. In true Langwarrin Park spirit, all students gave 100% effort and conducted themselves in a manner that the whole school community should be proud of. 

We had many students place in the top three in their individual events.  Thirty students placed 1st or 2nd in one or more of their events and as a result will now compete in these events at the Northern Divisional competition the first Wednesday of Term 4. 

A big thank you to Mrs Burridge, Mrs Bannan and Mr Emerson for assisting with officiating duties, supervision and organisation of the students throughout the day. Thank you also to all parents for supporting the students by bringing them to training as well as supporting them on the day.

Congratulations to the following students who participated on Monday:
