Term 1 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2022...A WARM welcome back to all of you!

The sun came up, the lights turned on and the speaker played my favourite song. 
I smelt the air and adjusted my hat, I cannot believe it...school's finally back! 
It's been way too long, some would say forever, but the thing is that we can do this together. 
At Mernda Park, we have always been, the most united force I have ever seen.
Physical Education is so well treasured, that just how much we love it cannot be measured.
We are starting Term 1 with CARE values a plenty, with games and activities, more than twenty.
Collaboration, Achievement, Responsibility and Empathy combined, give us tools to grow and shine.
To reach the potential that we have inside, as sports people and individuals that beam with pride.
SO I DARE YOU TO SHOW ME THAT YOU CARE, 
BECAUSE YOU CAN BE THE BEST YOU ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

TERM 1 INTERSCHOOL SPORT CHANGES TO OUR DISTRICT

As a part of the Bridge Inn North District, a new structure was voted on at the end of 2021 to maximise the participation of our 5/6 Interschool Sport Program to replicate that of other districts in our region.  So this year things have changed a little.  This year sees us participating in three terms of Interschool Sport, increasing weekly participation, while still allowing for some stand alone Gala Days.  So this is what 2022 will now look like:
TERM 1:
ISS: Hot Shots Tennis, T20 Cricket and Teeball
GALA: Lawn Bowls
DISTRICT: Swimming
​TERM 2:
ISS: AFL, Soccer and Netball
GALA: Hockey 7's and Girls AFL
DISTRICT: Cross Country
TERM 3: 
ISS: Softball, Basketball and Volleyball
DISTRICT: Athletics
We are very excited about the new structure and cannot wait to get our students started in our new 2022 season.
