Our Year 7 Health and Physical Education (HPE) students are currently engaged in a Rhythmic Gymnastics program. This unit is designed to develop skills such as balance, coordination, flexibility, and rhythm, while also enhancing their ability to work creatively and collaboratively. As part of their assessment, students will collaborate with their peers to create a routine.
This term, our Year 8 students have been working through invasion games in their HPE classes. This unit is designed to introduce students to a variety of team sports where the objective is to invade the opponent’s territory to score points while defending their own. Sports like basketball, netball, handball, indoor hockey and lacrosse are just a few examples of the games that will be featured.
This term, some Year 9 students are stepping into the shoes of game designers in their HPE classes. The ‘Design a Game’ unit challenges them to unleash their creativity and collaborate with their peers to invent original games. This unit is not just about physical activity; it's about thinking critically, solving problems, and understanding the fundamentals. Some of the games are so impressive that HPE teachers have begun incorporating them into their own classes, expanding their repertoire of games.
