Term 2 saw our Year 7–9 PE classes continue to build on their teamwork, communication, and game sense skills through a range of modified and invasion-based sports. Year 7 students participated in modified sports units including AFL, AFLX, Turbo Touch, and Speedminton, where they focused on developing fundamental movement skills, teamwork, and confidence in gameplay situations. Year 8 and Year 9 students explored a variety of invasion games including handball, korfball, netball, and tchoukball. Throughout these units, students developed their passing, movement, defensive positioning, and decision-making . Students across all year levels continued to build their understanding of game rules, strategies, and fair play while developing their ability to work collaboratively in team environments.
