HAPE

Term 3 has been a busy and exciting term for our HAPE classrooms.

Year 7 students have been working on their Fundamental Motor Skills in Physical Education (PE) class and learning about the changes that are occurring to their bodies in the Puberty unit in Health. To build on this knowledge, the Year 8 Health students have looked at contraception in our Sex! Life! unit and explored the tactics involved in Net/Wall sports in PE.

Our Year 9 students have been travelling to Richmond Recreation Centre to complete water-based sessions as part of their Bronze Medallion. Back at school, these same students have been developing their leadership skills by running an activity for their peers. In Health, the Year 9 students are learning about risk-taking behaviour and promoting their own and their friends’ safety in a variety of situations.

Our numerous electives at Year 10 see our students engaging in Advanced Volleyball, Sport Science and PE. All classes provide an opportunity for students to develop knowledge in specific areas and to continue improving their skill levels in more challenging situations.
