EP REGIONAL LANGUAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Mrs Middleton’s Year 9 Japanese class were very excited to celebrate being the ‘top class’ in the recent Regional Language Championship. They won a $100 Coles voucher and enjoyed a range of yummy snacks, trying lots of Japanese ones for the first time. The wasabi peas were particularly popular! Year 9 also invited the top point scorers in the Championship for the Year 8 French class. Congratulations to all of these students and everyone who competed in the Championship! Great work!

YEAR 7 CAMP
The staff on Year 7 camp have been incredibly impressed with the overwhelming support and care students have provided each other to overcome hurdles and challenges, especially when completing activities using high ropes. Students are taking every opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and taking risks to grow their confidence and resilience. Our campers have shown their ability to work in a team, cooperating and collaborating to achieve a shared outcome. They have displayed respect and maturity going above and beyond by tidying up after breaks and cleaning down spaces and messes that they themselves did not make.

LEARNING SPOTLIGHT - PRIMARY
All primary students worked hard during AFL clinics and PE during the term learning new skill sets. The students worked on the positioning of their hands on the oval ball in both kicking and handballing. They practised kicking skills utilised in AFL such as - drop punts, bananas, torpedoes and curved dribble kicks. They also worked on handballing and marking the ball. Students continued their development in head safety with the use of picking up the football side-on in eliminating the high percentage of a head clash when contesting for a loose ball.
Students in 5/6 competed in the AFL finals representing Amaroo. They thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience in communication, teamwork and using their skills in adapting to different opposition team tactics. All students are encouraged to continue practising their skill sets learnt during the AFL clinics and PE lessons. Also, a big congratulations to all students for their improvement in ball skills.
