HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Welcome back to all staff and students for the final term of the year. I hope everyone had a restful break and is looking forward to finishing off their final term for the year. As it is Term 4 it is a friendly reminder to all students that hats are required to be worn during all practical classes. Sunscreen is provided and is highly encouraged but not compulsory.
The Year 7 Health students are off to a flying start, beginning their final unit of work for the semester, Respectful Relationships. In this unit students explore a range of topics including; Understanding Emotions, Personal Strengths, Positive Coping, Stress Management and Help Seeking Behaviour.
Below is an example of 7A students working together to understand their group members body language using a range of emotions from a list. Each of the students took turns in guessing what emotion their partner was displaying. The teams worked great together and showed excellent understanding of the ways in which people display their emotions through their body language.
The Year 9’s have also been busy in Human Development. Their first class back involved a speed dating activity, where students were asked to discuss a range of questions with new people, they might not have interacted a lot with. The questions were linked to our first topic, which is all about our childhood and the experiences we have learnt and shared in our first few years. The students are congratulated on their resilience in embracing new challenges within the classroom.
Hope this finds you well. We are promoting a new Summer Hub for this term at Kiloran Park, Mooroolbark. We are hoping to get some assistance in promoting our program through your school’s channels, to gain interest in the upcoming Summer Hub. Attached you will find digital flyers with links directing those to the registration page through PlayHQ if you could share those flyers, it would be appreciated. Detailed below is a brief description of what the program looks like including, dates and times.
As the Year 10 students move closer to exams, students enjoyed their final excursion to Oz Ten Pin Bowling in Chirnside Park. Students have been exploring diverse ways to be active in the community, specifically, recreational physical activity. With a canteen voucher up for grabs, students dug their heels into the game, and it was great to see all students have a go, some even bowling for the very first time.
