Fundraising efforts directly from the Run for Fun Day have provided excellent classroom equipment to complete the extensive program in Physical Education.
The children are challenged in all their Physical Education activities to work cooperatively, follow simple instructions and rules and to use equipment and space safely. They have been encouraged to identify the feelings they experience during and after physical activity.
The Senior School children experienced the need for simple rules, scoring systems, safety considerations and cooperation when playing competitive and non-competitive school games.
