TERM 2 PHYSICAL EDUCATION OVERVIEW
In Term 2, students will continue developing their fundamental movement and sport-specific skills through a variety of activities. Prep students will focus on bouncing and catching before progressing to kicking skills, exploring both soccer and AFL. Students in SLC and CLC (Grades 1-4) will develop their racquet skills through tennis and badminton, while YYLC (Grade 5/6) will focus on hockey and tennis.
Midway through the term, all year levels will prepare for and complete the Athletics Skills Track (AST) assessment. This obstacle course-style assessment includes up to eight movement skills performed in sequence, tailored to different age groups. Skills assessed may include rolling, bunny hopping, jumping, running, slalom movements, clambering, and crawling. Students will be scored based on speed and execution of these skills.
Additionally, CLC students will participate in swimming lessons on Tuesday afternoons from April 29 to June 17. Lessons will be held in two groups, with sessions running at 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm.
YYLC (Grade 5/6) will also continue their involvement in Interschool Sports (ISS) on Friday mornings, competing in Soccer, AFL 9s, and Netball. The fixture, along with important dates for school events and district events, can be found further below.
We look forward to another exciting and active term ahead!
