HPE and Fitness
Our students are busy again this term engaging in many different sports and physical activities. Students are fortunate enough to be participating in an array of activities ranging from Lawn Bowls to Gymnastics, to AFL, Yoga, Bush Dance and Volleyball. Providing students with these opportunities creates an excitement for physical activity and opens windows to new and engaging experiences.
Year 8 HPE Mental Health Kits
Year 8 HPE students have been working very hard over the last school term to develop their understanding on the very important topic of ‘Mental Health’. As part of their assessment, students were required to research many different aspects of Mental Health and use their findings to create ‘Mental Health Bags’. These bags contained helpful tips and information to support and encourage healthy minds in teenagers. All of the Year 8 students came together this week at lunch time to gift these bags to their peers. Well done to all the Year 8 students for their hard work, together they made over 350 bags!
