Cross Country:

Term 2 is set to be a busy, action packed term. Already we have held the House Cross Country event which was a fun filled morning for all involved. The Years 3 to 6 students all participated and ran around the paths and tracks of Nettleton Park. An enormous congratulations to all students who walked and ran the 2 and 3 km courses - plenty of rosy red cheeks and cheering each other on. Congratulations to the top 10 of each age group who have been invited to compete at the Glen Iris District event on the 23rd May 2023. We wish everyone the best of luck.

This term in Physical Education:

This term we are learning more about Net and Wall sports through Volleystars and Volleyball as well as solidifying our catching and throwing skills in games like Netball and Touch Rugby. Skipping is also featuring this term and will be preparing all students for a fun House based event later in the year so dust off your ropes at home and get skipping!

Running Club:

A reminder that Running Club is beginning week 2 on Tuesday mornings at school. Students should wear their PE uniform or their Running Club t-shirt (available for purchase). They must get changed into their PE uniform before going to their first lesson. Parents, please feel free to join us running around our school based course and taking part in our fitness based games.
