Lifestyle, PDHPE & Sport

Year 8 KKHS 30 Project

Year 8 Lifestyle have been keeping active during this Term with their KKHS 30 Project. The aim of the project is for students to create a website the local Kurri Community could use to explore the places within our community which promote physical activity. Students have also explored the benefits of being physically active and the consequences associated with a living a sedentary lifestyle.  

Year 9 take on Racquet sports

Year 9 PDHPE have been getting a hit out of our Racquet Sports unit of work using a range of sports such as Badminton, Speed Minton and Paddle Tennis. As a part of their Assessment this term, students were given the task of analysing a peers performance on the court and providing coaching points to help improve their performance. 

Road Safety has been central to Year 10 PDHPE

As part of our Road Safety Unit of work in Year 10 PDHPE, students were provided with an interactive presentation from Wheelchair Sports NSW. The presentation included information on road safety and living with a disability followed by a Wheelchair Basketball game.   

In our practical unit of work students have been working collaboratively to design an original Invasion game. Students have developed skills in cooperation, communication and even developed skills in reading, interpreting, and delivering coaching activities. 

S.P.O.R.T. SQUAD 

Term 3 has been an epic term for sport at KKHS with the launch of our S.P.O.R.T initiative. Our launch included the unveiling of our new sport uniforms along with a guest appearance from our Sport polo sponsor Karen Barrett from Tailrunners. Karen spoke to our students about the role Sport has played in her life as well as highlighting the personal characteristics students can develop through lifelong participation in Sport. At the time of publishing our S.P.O.R.T Squad selections are being held and we are looking forward to our S.P.O.R.T Squad Teamwork excursion in late Term 3. In Term 4, our squads will have the opportunity to specialist coaching to further their skill development and teamwork skills.  

We would like to thank the local Kurri Kurri community for their outstanding support in sponsoring our S.P.O.R.T initiative. Through your support we have been able to purchase new sporting uniforms which means are students are looking very professional when they represent KKHS on the sporting field and court.  Our Snowy Hydro Gazebo has also been a great additional to                                                                               our sporting equipment! 

As part of our S.P.O.R.T initiative we have the S.P.O.R.T ambassador program where our students attend local primary school gala days to help officiate games. Thank you to Jett Taylor, Hudson Carr and Kelliah Ridley for supporting our local primary school students in Touch football and Netball games.
