Physical Education News

The students have returned to school with great enthusiasm and vigour as they begin their final term of schooling for the year. Our Year 4 students have been hard at work on their basketball skills and they are enthusiastic about the Basketball Carnival they will be competing in at the WA Basketball Centre. All of the year groups have been enjoying their swimming this term, as they learn to swim and familiarise themselves with the water after a cold winter. This is an integral part of our programme, as water safety and competence in the water is an important aspect of living in Perth. Our Year 5 students continue to enjoy their JPSSA Sport programme and they have displayed a great attitude to competition. The Year 3 boys are working on their European Handball skills, as this is an Inter-House sport they will be able to compete in, in Term 1 of 2017.
