TERM 1 PHYSICAL EDUCATION OVERVIEW
This term in PE, students will focus on developing both their physical skills and understanding of the MPPS Care Values. From Weeks 1 to 4, the whole school will engage in games and physical challenges that highlight Collaboration, Achievement, Responsibility, and Empathy. From Weeks 3 to 8, students in YYLC will participate in swimming lessons at Kingswim Mernda on Fridays at 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm, focusing on water safety and swimming skills.
In Weeks 5 to 10, students in SLC & CLC will develop their basketball skills with the guidance of an external coach.
