Health and Physical Education focus

Karen Parker —

Term three focuses on Health and Physical Education.


Term three is a busy term for our year 7's with weekly swimming sessions at Moana pool with the Swimsation facilitators.  While at Moana pool the students will also be involved in deep water activities and learning basic kayaking skills.

The winter tramps are being booked in for later this term. Classes will either be walking the Mount Cargill track or the Pineapple track. Notices about these will be sent out later in the term.

We started this term off studying puberty and will have our public health nurse in to talk to the students later in the term about the good habits for nutrition and exercise during puberty.  

Next week we start our Kia Kaha anti bullying programme and will have the Police Education Officer in to work with the students through this programme.

We will conclude the term looking at ' the body', through muscles, bones, hydration and systems.
