PE and Sport

Term 1 Fit Club
I'm pleased to announce that Fit Club is back for Term 1 and will be on every Wednesday at 8:15 am. We meet up at Leigh Park to warm up together and then go for a few jogging laps around the oval. If you are interested, please fill in the form: https://forms.gle/iGzsYjozAjmbEqWf7
PE Focus
We are continuing the Athletics skill unit across 3-6 in preparation for the Athletics Carnival in Week 9. Most recently, classes attempted the first official events for the Carnival during PE class; the Triple Jump and High Jump. These events are conducted at school due to time constraints on the Athletics Carnival day, however the results still count for ribbons and all competitors who attempt these receive points towards the Athletics Carnival House Cup. It was excellent to see the growth in certain students after practicing in the first half of the lesson, steadily improving their technique. Students will be informed of the results for their age group during class!
District Swimming Carnival
Last Thursday the BPPS Swimming Squad took part in the District Swimming Carnival at the Boroondara Sports Complex. Although we were close in a few events, none of our swimmers progress to the next stage - however I am still extremely proud at how the team supported one another and conducted themselves on the day. We try again next year!
Inter School Sports - Mont Albert and Greythorn
Our Summer teams were up against strong opponents in both of their opening fixtures for the year. We had comeback victories and a few hard lessons but most pleasing of all was the feedback from the coaches involved describing the great sportsmanship demonstrated by all squads.
