Return to On-Campus Learning

It has been exciting to welcome back students as they return to On-Campus Learning and their happy faces walking in the school gate when they saw friends and teachers. I have had some questions from families about the resumption of Wednesday and Saturday sport. For now, the online Zoom sessions (see below for details) will continue in line with both the Government guidelines and the published AIS framework. We are currently exploring what a gradual reintroduction of small group training would look like for our students when restrictions are lifted and, once finalised and approved, this will be communicated to all families at the appropriate time.

Saturday Morning Fitness, Netball and Football Zoom Sessions

Last Saturday, we expanded our live Zoom sessions on offer by including a 45 minute Netball skills and a fitness session. This session, adapted from the NSW Swifts online program, was open to any student who wished to participate, regardless if that is their preferred sport. Thanks to our Sports Captain Stella Cunningham who guest presented on her 12^th birthday.

Well done to those students who not only completed this session but did so after just finishing the Fitness session prior to, and in some cases even completed the Football session afterwards. We also had a special guest appearance in the Football session by Winston the family dog who ended up in a tug of war practice with Mackenzie.

These sessions will be on offer once again this weekend with the Zoom codes listed below and, like previous weeks, these details will be available on Google Classroom.

Saturday 16 May Zoom Fitness – 9.00-9.45am
Saturday 16 May Zoom Netball – 9.45-10.30am
Saturday 16 May Zoom Football – 10.30-11.15am

Messages of Support Video

This link was emailed to all Junior School families last week but a few emails bounced back. As I said in my email, it is a challenging time for all and so I thought  a video that has some special messages of support for our Junior School students would be fun to watch.

We are looking forward to when the Junior School is be back to how it was at the start of Term 1, a hive of activity, students going about their daily routines, sport as we know it, but in the meantime stay focused, stay positive and enjoy the video.

Week 2 – HomeFit Exercise Log

Well done to the following Junior School students who have been logging in their exercises while at home for the last week. House points have been allocated for these exercises.
