Be Active Multi-sport Program

At the end of last term, all Gioia House students participated in a multi-sport program. The students were placed into mixed Years 5 and 6 class groups and rotated through different sports and activities each week. Four of the sports activities were run by external coaches in AFL, Basketball, Hockey and Volleyball. We also had two additional activities in Dance and our Amazing Race activity.

Each week the students participated in different sports giving them the opportunity to improve their coordination, balance, agility and endurance. The activities not only promoted physical fitness and confidence but also helped the students build lifelong habits of teamwork, resilience, and a positive attitude towards active living. The feedback from the students was positive and they enjoyed the variety of sports.
