Physical Education 2024!

We are incredibly proud of how students have enthusiastically embraced opportunities in Physical Education throughout 2024, achieving great success for the school. They have displayed teamwork, commitment, sportsmanship, and leadership while (most importantly) enjoying themselves across a variety of lessons and sporting events. Before we dive into the highlights of 2024, here’s a look at some sports news from the past fortnight.

Run Club 2024

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Run Club in 2024! Across more than 50 mornings, over 500 students, from Kinder to Level 6, took part in this fantastic program. From the warm summer mornings running through water misters to the frosty winter mornings in gloves and running across frozen grass, it has been incredible to witness the dedication and enthusiasm across the school community. A special congratulations to our 2024 500 Lap Club members: Riyon R., Harrison B., Jacob L., and Henry A. – an extraordinary achievement that highlights your hard work and commitment setting new school records!

We also extend a huge thanks to all the parents who supported the program, whether by helping out or cheering from the sidelines. Your involvement has been invaluable in making Run Club such a success. Well done, everyone! We look forward to celebrating at our Run Club Breakfast Tuesday! 

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2024

We would like to extend our thanks to the incredible Rangeview parents for their incredible support of our Physical Education program throughout 2024. Whether it was driving students to and from events, cheering enthusiastically from the sidelines, cleaning uniforms, coaching, helping with dots at Run Club, assisting with training sessions, or simply being an active part of your child’s sporting journey, your contributions have been invaluable. Meg and I are so grateful for the support we get. 

This year has been our most successful yet, and we couldn’t have done it without the community’s support. A special thank you to the graduating class of 2024 – you have set an outstanding example of teamwork, leadership, dedication, and effort during your time at Rangeview. Best wishes for your future endeavours!
