Health and Physical Education 

This term in Physical Education and Health, we introduce students to the importance of staying active and making healthy choices. Our focus is on understanding the rules and responsibilities that help create a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for everyone. Students are learning about the importance of teamwork, fair play, and following instructions to ensure a positive experience in all activities. By emphasising responsibility- such as taking care of equipment, respecting classmates, and staying engaged, we are helping to build lifelong habits that support physical and social well-being. We look forward to continuing this journey and encouraging students to be active, responsible, and enthusiastic learners!

School Sport

Week 3 Summer Sport tryouts!

Get ready, summer sport tryouts kick off in Week 3! This is a fantastic opportunity for students to sign up and showcase their interest in the sport they love. From there, we’ll jump into practice sessions and friendly competition as students vie for a spot on one of our summer teams. This year, we’re offering girls’ and mixed teams for Basketball, Cricket, Tee Ball, and Volleyball. It’s all leading up to our big Gala Day in Week 9, where our teams will put their skills to the test. We can’t wait to see our students get involved, give their best, and have fun!

Events Term 1

We are excited to kick off Term 1 with a fantastic lineup of sporting events that will keep our students active, engaged, and full of school spirit! Please take note of the key events happening this term and encourage your children to participate and support their peers.

Year 3-6 Athletics Day – Friday, 13th March (Week 7)

Students in Years 3 to 6 will have the opportunity to showcase their athletic skills at our annual Athletics Day. This is a great chance for students to participate in track and field events, work as a team, and strive for their personal best. Parents are welcome to come along and cheer for their children!

Summer Sport Gala Day – Tuesday, 27th March (Week 9)

Our year 5 and 6 students will compete in a variety of summer sports against other schools in our district. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience team sports, develop their skills, and represent our school with pride. More details on teams and venues will be shared closer to the date.

Foundation - Year 6 Cross Country – Tuesday, 31st March (Week 10)

All students from Foundation to Year 6 will take part in our school-wide Cross Country event. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build endurance, and enjoy a fun and active day outdoors starting on our school oval. Make sure to bring plenty of water and wear your sports uniform! Cross Country and Athletics Day are closely linked as both events focus on developing students’ endurance, resilience, and participation in whole-school sporting events. Cross Country helps students build their long-distance running fitness, pacing strategies, and mental perseverance, which are valuable skills that support their performance in Athletics Day distance events. Both events also promote house spirit, teamwork, and sportsmanship, encouraging students to challenge themselves while contributing to their house team. Participating in Cross Country helps students feel more confident and prepared when taking part in Athletics Day activities.

House Colours!!!!

For school events, we encourage all students to proudly wear their house colours and be as bright and vibrant as possible! Wearing house colours helps build pride, unity, and a strong sense of belonging within each house team. It is a great way for students to feel connected, show their school spirit, and contribute to a positive team culture. If students are unsure of their house colour, they can check Compass or speak with their classroom teacher. By getting involved and dressing in their house colours, students help create an exciting and supportive atmosphere at our school events. We encourage all students to get involved, give their best effort, and most importantly, have fun! If you have any questions, please contact the school office or have your student talk to Mr. Perkins.

Let’s make Term 1 a great season of sport, school spirit and with plenty of bright house colours!!!!
