PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM – TERM 1 2026
It has been a busy and exciting term for all students.
Our Foundation students have had a great start to the term. They have learnt the ‘whistle rule”. (stop, look, listen & think) and have participated in cooperative warm up games. Foundation students have practiced their Locomotion skills and have been introduced to the following Fundamental Motor skills of throwing and catching.
The focus for Year 1’s and 2’s students has been on developing their Locomotion and Fundamental Motor skills through individual drills, partner work or group activities.
Year 3’s students will have the opportunity to participate in new events for the first time this year. Each week they have been introduced to a different athletic discipline (shot put, discus, sprints, hurdles, long and triple jump)
Whilst the Year 4’s - 6’s have continued to practice, develop and refine their athletic techniques and skills. All students are making good progress in this area.
SPORT PROGRAM
In addition to the classes, the Physical Education department is responsible for organising and implementing the school Sport program.
In Week 3, Year 6 students were involved in the Water Safety program at Mills beach.
On Thursday 26th February some students from Years 4 – 6 participated in the Murdoch District trials and 15 have now successfully progressed through to the Divisional competition on Wednesday 25th March.
Over 80 students have been participating in the Early Morning Cross Country training in preparation for the House Cross Country which will be held on Monday 30th March. A fabulous turn out and wonderful to see so many students wanting to improve their aerobic fitness.
KEEP ON BEING ACTIVE AND HAVING FUN EVERYONE!
