Ultimate Frisbee at OHR

As part of our Sporting Schools funding we are thrilled to welcome Ultimate Frisbee to OHR during our P.E sessions.

Why play Ultimate?

Here’s 5 good reasons!

1. Non-contact – as a non-contact sport it is a great, safe sport for students of all ages, sizes and abilities.
2. Self-refereed – the self-refereeing aspect of Ultimate encourages a mature response to competitive situations.
3. Skill Acquisition – the task of throwing a frisbee accurately and catching it successfully is great for the development of hand-eye co-ordination.
4. Fun –  The game itself develops many fundamental movement skills such as running, leaping and the vertical jump.
5. Co-ed – Ultimate can be played by everyone!

MASCOT CHALLENGE ACTIVATION

Last week "STARMAN" visited OHR to activate the Mascot Challenge (play cricket) to our P-2 students. 

The Mascot Challenge has been developed to assist Foundation to Grade 2 students in developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy.

The program promotes active lifestyles and assist students in achieving 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activity on most days of the week as outlined in the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines. The Mascot Challenge achieves this by spending 10 minutes a day developing fundamental skills that will assist them in remaining physically active later in life.

As part of the challenge, each day participants will undertake activities designed to challenge them at their own pace in a fun and inclusive environment.
