Health and Physical Education is off to an excellent start in Term 1. This term offers engaging and diverse learning experiences in Health and Physical Education for students in Years 7–9.
Year 7
PE classes focus around striking and fielding. Kickball, Softball and Teeball are part of the rotation. In Health, students have been exploring nutrition and will be beginning an assessment task which involves planning and cooking meals for family members.
Year 8
Students have started off with invasion games such as Aussie Rules, Soccer and Touch Rugby. In Health, students have been learning all things First Aid. This includes learning DRSABCD, common injuries, camping scenarios, and applying the content practically using first aid manikins.
Year 9
Whilst two classes are off on Horizon, the other Year 9 classes have been focusing on fitness. This has involved them learning fitness content in Health classes such as training principles and methods, and then applying their knowledge by participating in fitness testing and writing up their own program to improve their fitness.
We look forward to continuing this positive start to the year.
