We have been looking forward to our K – 6 Athletic Carnival (Thursday March 28) for a few weeks now. As you read this article, our carnival will have been done and dusted!! Our Primary HPE staff members (Karen Bramich and Kate Howe) have been preparing our K – 6 students with a host of physical, social and emotional learning opportunities to prepare them for, not only for the carnival, but to teach a range of physical and emotional skills that will benefit them during their growing years.
Due to the length of time it takes to run the 800m, 1500m and High Jump events, these have already been held in Weeks 6 & 7. We would like to share some wonderful photos of our students and to give you an update of student progress and house points. There will be a full report on the K – 2 Athletic Carnival in the next newsletter.
