During Term 1 in Health and Physical Education, the students have had many experiences learning new skills and consolidating already learnt skills.   

The Foundation to Grade 2 students have played with a variety of balls and have been consolidating bouncing and throwing.  They are learning the fundamentals of running, skipping, jogging and galloping. The Grade 3 and 4 students have been focusing on a netball unit where they have been learning the rules and skills associated with netball. The Grade 5 and 6 students have been learning the skills of basketball and will be beginning a unit on AFL shortly.

The Health component is also a major element of the Program. This includes discussing the health benefits of physical activity and mental health wellbeing.  This term we have discussed safety when playing sport, the importance of hydration and best practice in the hot weather.

It is a requirement that the students have a hat during Terms 1 and 4 for outdoor HPE activities.  During the year, it is beneficial for them to wear appropriate shoes on their HPE day and also have a drink bottle.
