PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
Patty O'Brien, Sheridan Patton, Britt Daffy Term One Welcome back to the new school year! We hope that everyone had a great break. This year Mr O’Brien (Mon-Fri), Mrs Daffy (Wednesdays) and Mrs Patton (Thursdays) will be taking the students for P.E. During Term One, all students from F-6 will be focussing on Athletics. During these sessions the students will learn the correct technique to perform at each event and the safety aspects they need to know around each event. The MGPS School Athletics Day will be held on Wednesday 6th April at the Latrobe University Athletics Track in Flora Hill. In addition to Athletics the F-2 students will be learning the fundamental skills of throwing and catching. The students will be taught the skills and then put these into practice through playing games and completing various activities aimed at these skills. The students in Grades 3-6 will be focussing on striking and fielding. Students will be given scope to practice these skills through various games and sports. In addition to their normal P.E. sessions the Foundation students will also begin the Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). The students will get one session of PMP each week with the aim of connecting sport to their classrooms and the word around them. We are looking forward to the term ahead and most importantly having fun in P.E. |
Congratulations to Laver House for winning the 2022 Cross Country and well done to all those students who took part.

YEAR LEVEL SPORT PROGRAM
Year 2-6
Year 2-6 students enjoy weekly Year Level Sport that allows students to play minor and major games in an enjoyable team environment.
At Maiden Gully Primary, a ‘family’ and community atmosphere is strongly valued. Our weekly sport helps to foster a stronger sense of connectedness amongst our students and year levels.

PERCEPTUAL MOTOR PROGRAM
Foundation PMP is part of our Physical Education Program for Foundation students in addition to their normal P.E. sessions. The students receive one session of PMP each week with the aim of connecting sport to their classrooms and the word around them. Through this program, students learn and practice abilities such as balance, left and right, and basic body movements such as jumping, hopping, skipping and running. |
