PE

In PE we have been busy learning and practising events for our Whole School Athletics Carnival. Over the last two weeks, students have been focusing on the following:

Prep: shuttle relay, hurdles, long jump and tunnel ball

Grade 1/2: shuttle relay, vortex, hurdles, long jump and tunnel ball

Grade 3/4: hurdles and high jump

Grade 5/6: hurdles, long jump and triple jump

The carnival will be held on Wednesday the 6th of March at Morrison Reserve Athletics Track. Students are encouraged to wear their house colours on the day!

Interschool Sport

Our Grade 5/6 District Summer Sports Day has been locked in for the 1st of March. We will have 9 teams participating across the four different sports: 3 x volleyball teams, 2 x softball teams, 2 x cricket teams and 2 x tennis teams. Thank you to the parents who have offered to help so far. We still need an adult to help with our tennis group. If your child is participating in tennis on the day, you have a current Working with Children Check, and you can help, please contact me ASAP.
