This term in Physical Education, students will be learning and playing Volleyball. The focus will be on developing key skills such as the underarm serve, forearm pass (bump), volley (set), and working effectively in teams during games. Students will also explore strategies for movement, positioning, and communication on the court.

Throughout the unit, students will be encouraged to demonstrate sportsmanship, teamwork, and persistence as they develop their understanding of the game. Later in the term, classes will take part in fun mini tournaments to showcase their learning.

In addition to our Volleyball unit, Term 4 is a very busy time for representative and inter-school sport. We congratulate all students who have participated or will be representing the school in the coming weeks.
