Class 7

The Class 7 Students started this term with Athletics, where they used - for the first time -  a range of new and donated Athletics equipment. The unit's focus was on general fitness, jumping, throwing and running. Next up was the very popular Parkour, also called freerunning, which is the art of moving from one point to another in a complex environment. Parkoir involves a range of movements like running, jumping, climbing, vaulting, and rolling. Favorite activities included the foam pit and playing the “floor is lava”. 

Class 8

This term, Class 8 focused on social dancing in preparation for their upcoming social. While some students were initially hesitant to engage in partnered dancing, over the weeks they gradually embraced the idea and, dare we say, even began to enjoy it! Stepping outside of their comfort zone can be challenging for 14-year-olds, but the learning culminated in the Class 8 social, which was a fun and memorable night for everyone.

Class 9

In the athletics unit, students actively participated in fitness activities, showcasing impressive athleticism. The triple jump, in particular, was an event where students excelled. The class then transitioned to Badminton at Mundaring Arena, which has become one of the year's most popular units of the year. Students' skills in both backhand and forehand shots, as well as serving and understanding the game, have significantly improved, with the weekly doubles competition being a standout feature.
