Students have made an excellent start to PE lessons this year. This week we focused on: 

• establishing our values and expectations in PE 
• personal fitness/sport goals for 2023 
• cooperative games 

The main focus in PE this term is swimming. Students have completed 2 of their 6 swimming lessons with Kemps Aquatics. 

Our major sporting event will be the swimming carnival which will be held on Monday the 20th of February at the Maffra Pool. The carnival is for all students in grades 1-6. There will be a range of formal events and novelty races, so it will be a fun day for all. 

In order for the carnival to be a success, we will require parents/guardians to assist. If you are able to help on the day, please send me a Dojo message. Any support would be greatly appreciated. More information on the carnival will be sent out in the next week. 

The beginning of the year is a great time to get your child involved in a sporting activity/club. We are very lucky that our community has a range of sports for students to become involved in. At the end of the newsletter there is information on some clubs students might be interested in.
