Health and Physical Education

Health and Physical Education End-of-Term Newsletter
Term 1, 2025

Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,

As we wrap up a successful term in Health and Physical Education, we want to take a moment to reflect on the achievements and progress we've made throughout the past few months. It has been an exciting and productive time for our students as they continue to develop essential skills that promote both physical and mental well-being.

Highlights of the Term

  1. Physical Fitness Challenges:
    This term, students participated in various physical fitness activities in the classroom that focused on endurance, strength, and agility. Whether it was our fun “Fitness Bingo” or the “Move Your Body by Danny Go” challenge, we saw students pushing their limits and improving their overall fitness levels. Many students embraced the spirit of friendly competition and showed great perseverance.
  2. Healthy Living Education:
    Our focus on nutrition and mental health this term has been incredibly rewarding. Students learned about balanced diets, the importance of hydration, and how food choices impact their energy levels. In addition, we discussed strategies for managing stress, building resilience, and the importance of mental well-being as part of overall health.
  3. Personal and Social Responsibility:
    Throughout the term, we have emphasised the value of personal responsibility when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students were encouraged to set personal goals, track their progress, and reflect on their achievements. These skills will not only benefit them in physical education but also in other areas of their lives.

Looking Ahead to Next Term

As we look ahead to Term 2, we are excited to continue fostering a love for physical activity and well-being. We have a number of exciting projects and events planned, including:

  • Cooking !!!!

Acknowledgements and Gratitude

We want to extend a huge thank you to all the students who have shown incredible dedication this term. Your enthusiasm and hard work have made every lesson enjoyable and rewarding.

A special thank you to the parents and families for their ongoing support. Your encouragement at home plays a vital role in helping our students succeed.

End-of-Term Reminder

Please remember that physical activity doesn’t stop when the term ends! We encourage all students to stay active during the break, whether through family walks, sports, or simply playing outdoors.

We wish everyone a restful and safe holiday, and we look forward to welcoming you back in Term 2 with new energy and enthusiasm for health and physical education!

Stay Active, Stay Healthy!

Warm regards,
The Health and Physical Education Team
