Sport and Recreation

In our Sports and Recreation course this term, we've placed a strong emphasis on empowering our students to take the lead in their learning experiences. They have had the unique opportunity to lead their peers in student-led lessons centred around sports and games of their choice. Our students were tasked with developing lesson plans, conducting research to identify specific skills and small-sided games, and then guiding their classmates through the entire lesson.

This activity sparked creativity among our students, as they introduced innovative games and concepts that even our teachers hadn't encountered before. The results were impressive, as this endeavour not only encouraged individual confidence but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and social connection within the class. It was a positive learning experience for all involved, and we look forward to continuing to support our students' growth and leadership in the coming term.

Personal Health and Wellbeing

In Term 3, our focus in Personal Health and Wellbeing has kept our students incredibly engaged both inside and outside the classroom. We've delved into three units: Personal Fitness, Personal Care, and Personal Improvement.

One of the highlights of the term was when we welcomed Renae Parker, a skincare specialist, to our classroom. She conducted an informative skincare session and pampered our students with delightful hands and feet treatments. To add an exciting twist to our learning, we ventured out to Splash Aquatic Centre. Personal trainers led our class through high intensity RPM and Body Pump sessions, offering our students a unique fitness experience. We also had the privilege of hosting Well Ways, who introduced their empowering Body Talk program. This initiative emphasises resilience and fosters a positive body image, which we will continue into Term 4. As we wrapped up the term, Youth Family Community Connections joined us to conduct programs focused on the health aspects of social media. Our students gained valuable insights into managing their online presence and its impact on their overall wellbeing.

Term 3 has broadened our students' horizons by exposing them to a diverse range of activities, some of which they may not have had the opportunity to experience before. We look forward to building on this foundation in the upcoming term.
