Athletics Day
Well done to everyone at our Athletics Carnival today. Everyone showed what great sports people we are by trying their best and contributing to their teams. A very big thank-you to our incredible parent community for assisting. These days would not be possible without your help. I look forward to sharing photos and updates next newsletter.
Prep Bike Education
I am excited to share with you that our Prep students will be involved in two weeks of bike education during their P.E lessons in the last two weeks of term.
Sporting Schools Grant
In my previous newsletter article I shared with you about applying for a grant which allowed us to have a hockey coach come to teach hockey to our year 3-6 students and for Peninsula Basketball to run a few basketball clinics for our Prep- 2 students. I am thrilled to let you know our Prep- Year 2 students will be involved in a basketball coaching clinic for two sessions at the end of term. Unfortunately our hockey coach was unable to come but I have been sent a teacher- led program and we have purchased all new hockey equipment to support this program for our year 3-6 students.
Sport Finals
When I am at work each week I love to hear all about our students sporting achievements. At this time of year we have many students involved in football, netball and basketball finals and swimming competitions. It has been incredible to hear not only about their achievements, but about how supportive they are of each other; cheering each other on and celebrating each others successes. Good luck to all our super athletes!
