As student assessments are completed and teachers begin work on reports it is important to remind students that there is still a lot of important learning to be done. Students will be completing units of work, consolidating learning from second semester and preparing for the start of the 2017 academic year.

Year 10 students attending Moree Secondary College have a transition morning next Wednesday 30th Novemeber. Students will walk from St Philomena’s to Moree Secondary College accompanied by a teacher.  Those students not continuing on to Moree Secondary College will remain at school for normal lessons.  

Congratulations to Gemma Mihill who has progressed to the next round of the Rotary Club Public Speaking competition.

In the recent cricket match against Holy Trinity we had a narrow loss. A highlight was Ben Ryan taking five wickets. The next game is against Gunnedah on Monday 28th November.

PASS STUDENTS HAVE A BALL WITH STAGE 2

Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) represents a broad view of physical activity and the many possible contexts in which individuals can build activity into their lifestyle. As part of our Year 9/10 elective course, students have been addressing the required area of study, Enhancing Participation and Performance.

In Week 6, PASS students put their skills and knowledge to the test, running a fundamental skills workshop for the Stage 2 (Year 3 & 4) students. The class used direct instruction and applied the game sense approach to develop sessions that concentrated on kicking, catching, throwing, shooting, hitting and passing. On Wednesday Week 7, the Stage 2 students applied these fundamental skills to modified games of Cricket, T-ball and AFL.

Congratulations to all the participants for their fantastic effort, enthusiasm and sportsmanship. A big thank you to all the PASS students for their ability to organise, coach and administer the sessions. They displayed excellent event management skills and should be proud of their achievements.
