Another HUGE week in PE

Our grade 5/6 Interschool sport CRICKET team won the GRAND FINAL against Templestowe Park - it was a fantastic close match with the score 93- 86. Well done to all our players and to Mr Jones our coach! The Team will now represent the Templestowe District in the Division Final.

CRICKET CLINICS

We have been continuing our Cricket clinics with Michelle from the Warrandyte Cricket Club - our Grade 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 students have completed 4 sessions learning the fundamental skills of cricket and enjoying some fun games. this was all funded through a Sporting Schools Grant of $3000. Students have been working on batting, fielding, bowling and team work skills.

AFL CLINICS:

As I said it's been a busy week - we had Jake and Tray teaching us some AFL skills and drills which was great fun!  These were part of the Positive Start Program, which is all about reconnecting and helping school communities to join in the rich activities on offer to connect with friends and schools again.

AND THERE'S MORE: 

SOCCER CLINICS:

Sebastian contacted us to ask if we would like to do some Soccer clinics. "Absolutely" I said! These clinics were held on the oval which was the ideal location. Lots of skills were being taught.

It has been fantastic for the students to be able to get a taste of all these different sports.

Many thanks to the class teachers for taking their students out to some of the classes. 

Hot off the press - we have just been successful in getting another $3000 grant for Term 2 to try another sport!

Stay tuned for many more fun sporting opportunities next term. Some classes will be learning the finer skills of tennis,  as well as some more AFL clinics. 

Grade 5/6 students will be competing weekly in Inter school sport - this time, AFL, soccer, Hot shots tennis, netball and Tee ball Teams.

Cross Country will be held on May 4 and we are hoping to conclude with a picnic over at the Warrandyte Reserve.
