PE (P-2) Term Three
Students in Prep to Year Two will engage in a Touch Football unit. Students will start by focusing on the basics of catching and throwing a touch football, making a touch, scoring a try and playing the ball. Students will then use these newly acquired skills to play modified games of touch football. Students will also engage in station activities where six stations are set up and they rotate between them throughout the lesson. These activities involve passing, catching, kicking, dribbling with feet, hands and hockey sticks, shooting hoops, scooter boards, skipping, goal shooting, ups and downs with tennis rachets, hopping, jumping, skipping, side stepping, animal crawling and balancing.

Students in Year Three to Year Six will also be participating in a touch football unit.

Students will then put these skills in to game-based situations playing in teams against members of their class.

They will examine the benefits of physical activity, investigating ways to increase physical activity in their lives.

Finally, they will explore the importance of demonstrating respect and empathy in online relationships reflecting on young people's use of digital technologies.

Catholic Schools Athletics Carnival
On Friday, 12th of July, St Saviour’s students represented their school at the Catholic Schools Athletics Carnival. They ran, jumped, and threw with two to three students in each event. St Saviour’s did extremely well with many students placing in the top three for their events. All students are to be commended on the way they represented their school and the sportsmanship they showed on the day. This carnival is designed for students to have a go against other school and prepare the older students for the Central Zone Carnival in Week Five. Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic carnival.
