NAIDOC Week

This week in PE, our students celebrated NAIDOC Week by learning about some of Australia's remarkable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander athletes and the sports they excel in.

As a warm-up, they played a traditional Indigenous game called Apwerte, where students had to roll a ball between two bowling pins. They were inspired by Cathy Freeman and participated in a sprinting game, practiced netball skills like Donelle Wallam, played tennis like Ash Barty, honed their AFL goal-kicking with Charlie Cameron, developed basketball skills inspired by Patty Mills, and engaged in handballing target practice like Bobby Hill.

It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to recognize and appreciate the contributions of these outstanding athletes while having fun and staying active.
