PE & Sport in Term 1
We have a busy term ahead of us with loads
of opportunities to be involved in physical activity.
It is great to see the new lines painted
around the School, especially the cricket wickets on the volley board.
Students
are asked to change for PE & Sport. The tee
shirt is available at the Office while the dri-fit shorts can be purchased from
Postie Plus or the Warehouse. Because it is difficult to keep their broad
rimmed hat on in the wind and while running about, the students are able to
wear a cap during that time. It is imperative that students are sun blocked for
any outdoor activity.
A real focus this term is the ICC Cricket World Cup. Last year 4 of
our students, Bailey, Bailey, Cameron, and Toby represented us at the launch
with the Tournament’s countdown (and to play cricket with Cricket greats Richard
Hadlee and Debbie Hockley, oh yeah and Kate and Wills!)
Students will have the opportunity to learn
more about the game in PE.
25 students will be invited to attend the
England vs Scotland Game on the 23rd.
Basketball – There is the opportunity to play basketball in the Friday Night
Basketball Competition which starts on the 20th and runs for 6 weeks
this term.

As always, swimming in Term 1 focusses on safety and confidence. Given the
appalling drowning statistics this summer it is imperative that we continue to
cherish our Community Pool and value the opportunities to develop knowledge and
skills further including the lunchtime swims, class and PE sessions, our
Swimming Sports, the Triathlons, Mainpower Trust’s swimming programme, and our sailing, beach, and surfing
programmes.

The PTA work extremely hard to provide a
friendly, enjoyable and professionally run Community Triathlon, which we encourage families to support. Students can
participate in individual and/or team events as can parents and older siblings.
Leading into this is our syndicate’s team triathlon run on the afternoon of Friday
20th.
We also have a strong tradition of students
representing the School at the Canterbury Primary Schools’ Triathlon.
Interested individuals must attend the Community triathlon to be considered.
In the Community we value the fantastic
work that Mainpower and the Sports Trust do in promoting physical activity and
well being. They are hosting a Bike Rage as part of their Annual Fundraiser.
Anyone over the age may enter this “marathon” team event so get some mates and
family together, pitch a tent and give it a go!
