We are off to Porters for our ski trip tomorrow! We went and didn't quite get blown off the mountain. We were the last to leave at 1.45 in whiteout conditions. The students were fantastic - gutsy, optimistic and good natured. What a blast!
Punting in PE today - what a hoot. As we finish our invasion games unit and move into athletics I introduced the game of force back to the students. Some rugby playing students had played before but for most it was a new game that challenged their skills and strategies. Some students commented on not having a ball to kick at home often because the family pooch punctured it!
We start basketball this Friday - tomorrow. Good luck to the Flames and the Bulls. It is the first of 3 grading games. we are looking forward to having heaps of fun! Go Fernside. Thanks to our coaches and managers.
There are many opportunities to be involved in sport, both in the School and in local clubs. (Try golf of softball this year)
