Sports In Schools

Keeping Active and Improving Our Skills

During Term Three all children from Kindy to Year Six participate in 'Sports in School' every Monday. During the lessons the children participate in fun filled activities where they can develop their skills but also learn how to work cooperatively with other people. At the end of each session the teachers reinforce positive living advice by highlighting important messages about being active, healthy eating and having a positive outlook to life.
