Sports Report

Cross Country

Ayah competed in the Woodlands Region Cross Country at Bundoora Park. Congratulations for trying your best! We are so proud as an Aitken Hill Primary School community!

Lunchtime Activities

Next term, we will be starting a jump rope club every Wednesday second half of lunch on the basketball courts. Jump Rope benefits for students:

1. Students are physically active and learn new skipping skills.
2. Students learn healthy heart habits.
3. Its an activity that kids like to do, with the potential to draw them from sedentary pursuits.
4. It focuses on, and develops, kids' locomotive skills.
5. Any child, regardless of fitness level or technical skills, can be involved.

Athletics House Sports Day

Yesterday, we had our first Athletics House Sports Day. The sun was shining, children were smiling and it was a fun day for all. Congratulations to all our students for trying their best at their events. It was wonderful to see the sportsmanship across the Houses encouraging team mates and taking in the wonderful sporting school spirit. Congratulations to Red House who took home the Aitken Hill Primary School Cup. Thank you to the parent volunteers that supported on the day, as well as our teachers for putting in so much work to make the day run successfully.
