PE

In PE, students have continued to learn and practise events for our Whole School Athletics Carnival. Over the last two weeks, we have loved utilising our new sand pit for long jump and triple jump. Students have now practised all of the events they will be participating in at the carnival and are ready to move onto their next units.

Athletics

Our House Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday 29th March at Morrison Reserve Athletics Track. It would be great to have all students dressed in house colours on the day. Thank you to the parents and grandparents that have offered to help. The generosity of your time is greatly appreciated! Just a reminder that all spectators will need to remain on the outside of the track at all times. Only staff and parent helpers will be allowed on the inside of the track.

Perceptual Motor Program (PMP)

Over the past fortnight, our Prep students have participated in activities practising the following skills: eye tracking, balance, hand-eye coordination, foot-eye coordination, jumping, fitness, throwing and catching. A big thank you to our Grade 5/6 students, who continue to show great leadership and enthusiasm whilst assisting with these sessions.

Interschool Sport

Our Grade 5/6 students are very excited for the Summer Sports Round Robin Day on Thursday 31st March. We will have 9 teams participating across the four different sports: 3 x volleyball teams, 1 x softball team, 2 x cricket teams and 3 x tennis teams. More information is now on Compass. Please remember to provide consent and payment, for your child to attend. We require helpers on this day, to support each of our 9 teams. Please contact me via Compass if you are able to help.
