Term 4, Week 2

Sports Report

What a busy start to Term 4 it has been for Sport at St Augustine's! We have had Division Track & Field Athletics, the JPC Lightning Premiership day, Bike Education, and our start to Summer Sport in PE. Our students have represented our school amazingly and we are super proud of all our efforts and achievements.

PE at St Augustine's

In our Grade 3-6 PE Classes this term, we have kicked off our inaugural Bike Education Program at St Augustine's. With an emphasis on road safety and bike safety, our students have battled the elements to learn new road rules and bike skills to enhance their biking experiences. It has been great to see all students encouraging one another to give the program their best go and to help one another learn new skills and techniques.

For the P-2 students, we have commenced our striking and fielding unit which is focusing on Cricket, Lacrosse, Tee Ball & Tennis. Also in some interesting weather, students have demonstrated such strong striking skills and have learnt new skills such as bowling, catching, underarm throwing, and overarm throwing.

Over the next few weeks, students will focus on the following:

Preps & 1/2s - Cricket - Striking & Bowling

Year 3/4s - Bike Education & Road Safety

Year 5/6s - Bike Education & Road Safety

Please also keep an eye out for Lunchtime Sport clubs where you can hone in on your skills!

Northern Peninsula Division Athletics.

We would like to congratulate all of our students who have participated in the Northern Peninsula Division for Track & Field Aths. With so many students making it through to the next round, it was awesome to see our school well represented in what was a very good standard of competition.

Other News - JPC Lightning Premiership

Lastly, we would like to recognise our 5/6 students who continue to achieve great things in Interschool Sport events.

On Tuesday 11th October, our 5/6s took part in the JPC Lightning Premiership day where we played Newcombe, Netball, Soccer, and AFL. With all of the JPC feeder schools present on the day, our students were able to meet a lot of new people and develop many new positive friendships throughout the day as they begin the transition to secondary school. To conclude the day, our students were able to win both the Mixed AFL and Mixed Soccer competitions, whilst also finishing 3rd and 4th in the Netball and Newcombe respectively. We are super proud of our 5/6 cohort who have finished their Interschool Sport experience on a high. Great job guys.

Please keep an eye out for future sports events throughout Term 4 to see how you can become involved.

Great work and GO ST A's!
