Celebrating a Year of Highlights: Jump Rope for Heart Success

As we wrap up another fantastic year in the Junior School, it’s wonderful to reflect on the many highlights, especially last week’s Jump Rope for Heart activities. The enthusiasm was contagious as students from Kindergarten to Year 6 proudly showcased their skipping skills during break times. Our Speed Skipper Competition was a huge hit, with students and teachers eagerly vying to achieve the most skips in 30 seconds. A big thank you to our Junior School community for raising over $300 in gold coin donations for the Heart Foundation. Special thanks also go to our amazing student volunteers who helped organise and run the competitions and activities throughout the week!

Shaping the Future of Junior School Sport: A Look Ahead to 2025

We sincerely thank parents and carers for sharing their valuable feedback through the MMG survey. Your input is an integral part of our ongoing efforts to refine and enhance the Junior School Sport program. Looking ahead to 2025, our focus will include initiatives such as enhanced coaching development, improved training quality, and expanded opportunities for students to build fundamental, sport-specific skills throughout the week. Areas of emphasis will include hockey, netball, basketball, cricket, and our running club. These enhancements reflect our commitment to fostering both participation and performance, providing every student with opportunities to grow their skills, confidence, and love for sport. We look forward to sharing more details in the new year.
