Term 4 started with a bang with our Athletics Carnival on the first Friday of Week 1, which proved to be much nicer weather than the previous date. Well done to all participants and a huge thank you to all staff, family and community members who came down to support the Factions.
In Physical Education classes the Year 1/2 students have been practicing key movement skills, navigating space safely and techniques for throwing and catching effectively. The Year 3s and 4s have been learning tennis in classes and may have the opportunity to showcase their skills in Week 6 at the Red Ball Tennis Tournament. The Year 5/6 classes have been learning Cricket and Lawn Bowls, with opportunities to make the Interschool Cricket and Lawn Bowls teams competing in Week 6.
SEPEP is also underway for our year 5 and 6 students. All students were placed into teams and then given the opportunity to give themselves a team name, uniform and roles to play to effectively run a competition. The chosen sports were soccer, volleyball and handball. Currently in 1st place is the ‘Drippy Dogz’ winning their first two games. The students setup, umpire, score and pack away the games and it has been great to see the students take on this responsibility.
