HPE so far
In the Junior and Middle years, students are focusing on developing their athletic skills, particularly in running and throwing techniques. Students are learning running form, working on high knees, opposite arms to legs and head straight. They have been participating in activities to help perform better in sprints. When it comes to throwing, students are introduced to pushing and swing techniques to help with shot push and discus.
In Years 4, 5 and 6, students have the opportunity to develop their hockey skills, focusing on essential techniques such as dribbling, receiving, and passing the hockey ball. Students practice receiving the ball in a hockey ready stance, controlling and passing the ball to improve their accuracy and timing to send the ball to a teammate. As they progress, the students gain confidence in their ability to work together, making quick, effective passes and supporting each other during games based play.
