It’s been a busy and energetic start to the term, with students from across the high school getting active both on and off site.

Our Class 7s and 8s have been hitting the courts at Mundaring Arena, developing their skills and teamwork through netball. The enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown each week has been fantastic to see, with students supporting each other and steadily building confidence in both attacking and defensive play.

Meanwhile, the Class 9s have been working on their coordination and technique at the Mundaring Tennis Club. Their sessions have focused on improving rally consistency, footwork, and game strategies, with many students making excellent progress in a short time.

Class 10s have taken their sport off site too, participating in squash sessions at Club Sierra that have tested their speed, reflexes, and endurance. They have been lucky enough to be coached by an experienced coach, fully funded and provided by Squash WA. This has been a wonderful opportunity for students to learn from a skilled professional while gaining insight into a sport that is both challenging and fast-paced.

Back at school, the Class 10s have been focusing on their hiking skills and general fitness in preparation for the much-anticipated Kalbarri Hiking Camp in Week 7. From endurance walks to body weight workouts, their determination and commitment have been impressive as they build the strength and stamina needed for the challenges ahead.

Whether on the court, the track, or out in nature, it’s been a term full of movement, learning, and connection through sport. We look forward to seeing what the rest of the term brings!

Basketball Carnival – Term 3

I am currently looking into the possibility of taking some school teams (Classes 7–9) to a local basketball carnival in Term 3. If you are a parent with experience in basketball and would be willing to assist as a coach or umpire, your support would be greatly appreciated.

Please email me at sjones@pws.wa.edu.au if you are interested or would like more information.
