Year 4 District Basketball 

Is on next Monday 28th July at Dandenong Stadium.  You can find your fixture on operoo (keep scrolling down to find it).  Thank you to Jess and Carlie for volunteering for the day. The students will be provided with a basketball top, could you please take these home and have them washed and brought back by Tuesday 5th August (in the PE office) so that these can be used again for the year 5 & 6 basketball day.  

Spotlight on Learning in Year 1 & 2

This term, our Year 1 and 2 students will be diving into the fantastic world of skipping! It's an incredible activity that not only significantly boosts their coordination, cardiovascular fitness, and balance, but also sharpens their rhythm and focus.

Skipping is a fundamental movement skill that provides a fun way to improve overall physical literacy, helping children with everything from playing other sports to everyday movements. To help your child master these exciting new skills and continue their progress, we highly recommend purchasing a simple skipping rope – even an inexpensive one from places like Kmart will do the trick! Practising at home between classes will make a big difference.

SSV State Athletics Trials

School Sport Victoria enters one representative team in the 10-12 School Sport Australia Championships.  All trial information can be found here.  This is an event you go through SSV to trial with and not the school.  If you need further information, please let me k

Have a fabulous week ahead and start to term 3

Stay safe, keep active
