PE Health Week

During week four of term four, PE and Health Week was held at MSC. Year 10 Health students worked alongside PE staff members to organise and implement a range of lunch time activities throughout the week aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles through exercise and diet. Being involved in the program enabled the year 10 Health students the opportunity to gain a deeper level of understanding on their current health promotion unit.

Monday - Yoga

Ms. Hollins along with the team of Thida, Kira, Sasha and Ritika lead a group of students to loosen their muscles, attempt new balancing positions and a chance to de-stress from the day. Many stacks and laughter were had by all participants during this activity.

Tuesday - Obstacle Course

With a range of equipment spread across court 1 of the rec, the obstacle course was a fast paced race requiring teams to finish the course in the shortest amount of time as possible. Alannah, Nina, Brandon and Zac were quick on the stop watches and awarded the team lead by Victor to be crowded 1st place getters.

Wednesday - Fruit Salad

The team of Akosita, Jean, Alunga, Jess and Manar conducted a very successful free fruit salad distribution to students and staff. Approximately 180 servings of fruit salad were distributed on the day. Woolworths Melton not only donated a large amount of fruit to the cause but also provided spokespeople whom talked to year 10 students at their year level assembly about the ongoing community partnership MSC has with them. We thank Woolworths Melton for enabling this activity to happen.

Thursday - Boxing Class

Richard and Paxson from Ringside Boxing and Fitness Gym took participants through their paces learning a number of boxing techniques. Students had a great time learning a range of punches in a safe and supportive environment. Jordja, Lexie, Veronica, John, Sean and Ethan assisted greatly with set up and pack up and even tried out some of the moves themselves.

Friday - Teacher vs Student Soccer Match

What a game! The annual rivalry was fierce from the start and the level of skill on show was outstanding. A number of shots on goal from both teams went begging early before the teachers were able to strike. No-one should have underestimated the student team as they quickly responded with two goals to take the lead. With only a few moments left in the match, the teachers were able to scrape one back making it a 2-2 affair. A thrilling match was witnessed by many and the strong rivalry lives on.

A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the week – Woolworths Melton, Ringside Boxing and Fitness Gym, Food Tech staff, PE staff,           Ms. Buckle, Robert Adeur and Year 10 Health students.
