Hello, from PE

News from PE- Ms. Laura Hicks.

We have been super busy in our PE lessons lately. We have been focusing on some of our fundamental movement skills including dodging, kicking and bouncing. We have also participated in gymnastics at school. After our 4 weeks at Jets Gymnastics, we have continued gymnastics at school, focusing on balance, flexibility and strength. Students have loved continuing their gymnastics skills.

Tennis Sessions

Our Grade 4-6 students have been lucky enough to start tennis sessions at the Ironbark Tennis Club this week. Students have been given the opportunity to learn tennis skills from a tennis coach and use the Ironbark Tennis Club facilities. Students will continue these sessions for 3 more weeks. A reminder that parents are invited to drop in at the Ironbark Tennis Club during these sessions. Tea/Coffee and biscuits will be available and a great chance to see your child participate in these sessions. The club is also offering some great opportunities to get students involved in tennis including free membership and equipment for those wishing to continue their tennis.

Alexandra Viney Visit

We had a special guest speaker come to our school recently. Al Viney from the Australian Institute of Sport came to speak to some of our students about her life an career. Al is a Paralympian and competes in para-rowing. Al spoke to students about her journey to become a para athlete after a car accident at 18 years old. She discussed her training, competitions including the Paralympic Games in 2020. Students were very engaged and loved hearing Alexandra talk. We were also lucky enough to have a look at some of her Australian uniforms and medals.
