Physical Education

Welcome back to the new school year! We hope that everyone had a great break.
During Term One, all students from F-6 will be focussing on Athletics. During these sessions the students will learn the correct technique to perform at each event and the safety aspects they need to know around each event. The MGPS School Athletics Day will be held on Wednesday 6th April at the Latrobe University Athletics Track in Flora Hill.

In addition to Athletics the F-2 students will be learning the fundamental skills of throwing and catching. The students will be taught the skills and then put these into practice through playing games and completing various activities aimed at these skills. The students in Grades 3-6 will be focussing on striking and fielding. Students will be given scope to practice these skills through various games and sports.
In addition to their normal P.E. sessions the Foundation students will also begin the Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). The students will get one session of PMP each week with the aim of connecting sport to their classrooms and the word around them. We are looking forward to the term ahead and most importantly having fun in P.E.
