HPE at Damascus in Term 2 has seen students involved in several exciting activities.
Year 7 students have participated in creating a respectful relationship cake in Health with many students showing great creativity with their responses. In practical classes some students have already completed their swimming unit with the remainder of the cohort to participate in Term 3.
Year 9 students have had a busy Term 2. Students were taken through a number of workshops relating to the perils of drugs and alcohol during the SSMART ASSK presentation run by Ballarat Community Health.
Footy Codes students travelled to Melbourne for a M.C.G. tour, Presentation with an Olympian talk, and a ‘Game On’ session. The day culminated with students watching Carlton vs Brisbane at Marvel Stadium.
All students participated in Dance as part of the Year 9 PE program. Year 9 students were taken through dances such as the ‘Pride of Erin’ and ‘Heel and Toe’. Students from every year level WERE then able to enter the always popular Dancing with the Stars competition. The competition was a great success with many contestants and enthusiastic onlookers.
Term 3 promises to be just as eventful with Year 10 students moving into elective classes that include Australian and Global Health, Core PE, and Energy for Exercise. Year 8 students will participate in Netball and Volleyball, Year 11 students will consider the health risks associated with sedentary behaviour. Year 12 PE and HHD students have worked tirelessly throughout Unit 3 and will now take on Unit 4 as they head towards final exams.
