AFL Victoria Football Lessons in PE

We have been fortunate to have the AFL Victoria development coaches come out to instruct and run games based lessons for our students over the last two weeks. Students have been involved in learning about kicking a footy correctly, marking, handballing and decision making within short modified games. Overall, everyone has been really enjoying the experiences and learnt many different fundamental skills associated with the game. 

On Tuesday this week, Changkuoth Jiath and Sam Butler from the Hawthorn Football Club made a special visit during our AFL sessions with our Year 6 students. Not only did they join in the games with our Year 6’s but explained about how to pursue a pathway in AFL football. The students got to know these players even better during their session and one of the best advice they gave to them was to strive to give their all in whatever they do.

The students and teachers of St Simon wish to thank the Hawthorn Football Club and AFL Victoria for sending such inspiring players to be with our students.
