Welcome back to Term 2 to all our RVSSC community members. We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing break and time was spent with loved ones. 

Last Term, the students within their HPE classes endured a whole range of new curriculum experiences in both theoretical and practical methods. Students set goals and procedures to achieve these goals at the start of the Term. This Term sees our students reviewing these goals and identifying if they have achieved them, and areas where they could improve. 

Year 7 HPE students will begin to look at Food & Nutrition during theory and Modified AFL in Prac. Throughout the Food & Nutrition unit, students will investigate the importance of good nutrition options in a sustainable school lunchbox. They will begin by exploring what it means to eat healthy. During prac, they will learn and demonstrate different movement sequences (skills) within the game of AFL. 

Year 8 HPE students will begin to look at Fitness Techniques during theory and Fitness Testing during Prac. Throughout the Fitness Techniques unit, students will investigate fitness strategies that develop health-related fitness components, in order to create and monitor personal fitness plans.

The Year 10 Health classes will be forming groups for their assessment to design a 'display' in which they will create a poster, some kind of info-graphic or brochure and will also plan a small activity to promote awareness of the risks associated with smoking and promote healthier choice.

Year 11 Certificate II in Sport and Rec students will be creating and performing a group presentation of client nutrition, additionally creating a SFR session to deliver to the RVSS Year 5 and 6 students as their practical element this Term.
