Newsletter Term 3 Week 3 - Friday 2nd August 2024

Green & Gold Day

Today our students and staff dressed up in green & gold to celebrate our Aussie olympians, and participated in some fun activities!

St Mary's Olympics

Whilst the Olympics are on over in Paris, we are going to be running our very own 'Olympics' here at St Mary's during our Physical Education (PE) lessons!
Each student is going to be assigned a country and compete for that country over their two PE lessons. This is going to run in conjunction with our normal PE schedule.

JLC students will be playing Target Games
MLC students will be playing Cooperative Games
SLC students will be focusing on games that harness their Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS)

On Friday 16th August at 2.30pm, our winning country will be announced!

Current Leaderboard as at Friday 2nd August:

1st Place: CANADA on 191 points

2nd Place: FRANCE on 184 points

3rd Place: SWEDEN on 157 points
