We are halfway there!

The students and staff within the HPE Department have hit the Term running and are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A special mention to all the HPE staff who have gone above and beyond for our students to make sure they are prepared for the current and upcoming assessment period.

7A, 7C, 7E are enjoying their first term of HPE at the College and have been learning about Personal Identities during Theory and Modified AFL during Prac.

Year 8 students are heading into their examination period where they will complete an exam based on 'Risky Business'. This see's the students demonstrating knowledge they have learnt throughout the term of positive risk taking, identifying types of stimulant, depressants and hallucinogenic drugs, and the short/long term effects of these. During the practical lessons, they have been engaged in Modified European Handball.

Year 9 HPE students are currently in either a practical or theoretical block, and at the conclusion of this week will see the students switch. During theory, students have been learning about Ethics and during Prac have been playing Oz tag.

Year 9 HSE students have been learning both theoretical and practical methods of providing CPR and First Aid. During practical lessons, they have been exposed to the game of Touch Football and have been taught how to create movement strategies and movement concepts in attacking and defensive opportunities throughout the game. 

Year 10 Sport and Rec students have been learning about Sports Marketing and how they can increase participation in their chosen sport and sporting organisation.

The awesome Year 10 Health Team of Miss McKendry, Mrs Nugent and the Year 10 Health Students have been working hard to raise awareness for the charity Blankets for Brisbane. This has seen them run a staff charity car wash afternoon along with having blankets knitted for homeless people too.
