Last year, after-school rugby and soccer clubs run by community and parent volunteers raised $1210 to further supplement our school P.E. equipment. Thank you Jamie, Jen, Zoe and Janine for your time and efforts over the year. The clubs were well supported and enjoyed by the children. The PTA also helped us to purchase a field hockey set. Thank you everyone.
All the new resources will enable us to continue to broaden our P.E. curriculum throughout the school, by offering a wide range of sports to appeal to different interests of our children. They will also help us to promote and instil a love of P.E. and the desire to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Following the success of the introduction of handball last year to our invasion game units, we are excited this year to introduce field hockey and beach soccer. Last year we also introduced squash to our net/wall game units and this was very popular with the children.
