Welcome back to Term 3! 

We have approached the halfway point of the 2022 schooling year and what a run it has already been. We have onboarded another HPE staff member Miss Kara Hansen. She is a graduate from USQ and we are lucky to have her as a part of our team. 

A reminder there is still sporting opportunities through Yagera Interschool Sport and Central Comets District Sport trials available. Mr. Justin Clifford is the best person to contact regarding Sport at the College – please contact him on jclif117@eq.edu.au for any sporting questions.

HPE Specific Equipment:

When HPE lessons are conducted on the oval, students ARE required to wear a hat, as per RVSSC’s sun safety policy; this is a part of the student uniform and all students should have a hat available. Students are allowed to bring their sport shoes to wear ONLY during HPE lessons. Students will need to change into these shoes at the beginning of the lesson and change into their regular black school shoes at the conclusion. We encourage all our students to also bring a water bottle to remain hydrated throughout the day and most importantly during the hot Ipswich climate.

All Term 3 Assessment:

During HPE in Term 3, all year levels will be assessed for both a theoretical and practical component throughout the term (minus Health). We are conscious that a lot of our students are either practically or theoretically talented, and in some cases, a combination of both. Therefore, in saying this we are making sure we are providing an opportunity to demonstrate these skills to be successful. All assessment information will be available via Daymap and will be available to students starting Friday 22nd July. We understand that COVID does have a big hold in our lives currently and if your student is away during a regular timetabled class, please make sure that you contact Student Services so this can become an approved attendance. If your student is absent during a timetabled assessment lesson, please follow the extension request that can be found in the student diary.

Benefits of Physically Activity:

As HPE Teachers we often talk about the importance of being Physically Active. Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Everyone can experience the health benefits of physical activity – age, abilities, ethnicity, shape, or size do not matter. During this pandemic it is extremely important to continually engage in physical activity and we encourage our College community to continue doing so. Below is some benefits of physical activity:
