PE & Sport

Interschool Sport

The Winter Interschool Sport Program begins in Week 3 this term with our 5/6 students playing: AFL, Netball, Soccer, Softball, Hot Shots and Volleybounce each Friday. Holy Spirit will compete against Ringwood North, Kalinda, Antonio Park, Good Shepherd and Croydon Hills Primary Schools. Good luck to all teams and watch this space for results!

Cross Country

This term we will be holding our first ever Whole School Cross Country. All students from Prep to Grade 6 will get to participate and earn points for there team. This will be held on Tuesday 18th May and more information will be provided via Operoo.

We held our first training session in preparation for the event on Monday. It was great to see a number of students so keen to improve their running! Thanks to Brad for leading the session and sharing his expertise.

The next training will be Monday 10th May at 7.45am, all welcome!

Physical Education

This term all students are preparing for Cross Country by joining some running at the beginning of each PE lesson. The Junior students are learning to persevere when running for a longer distance and the Senior's are considering strategies and exploring the idea of pace.

The Prep - 2 students will also be learning and developing their kicking and dribbling (Soccer) skills, 3/4's learning the skills of Lacrosse and 5/6's strategic play in modified AFL. 

We are looking forward to an awesome Term 2 in PE!

Sink or Swim Incursions

On Monday, our Prep & Grade 1/2 students learnt about water safety from the expertise of a surf lifesaver. This interactive program empowers students to keep themselves and others safe in a range of aquatic environments including, beaches, rivers, lakes, pools and the home, through engaging practical activities. 

These sessions were run by Life Saving Victoria and have been supported by the Maroondah Council. What a great opportunity!

Keep Active!
