PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PDHPE)
Students at Good Samaritan have Physical Education/Sport each week. All students participate in the School Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals. Eligible students participate in the Swimming Carnival. After these carnivals squads are chosen to represent the School at Regional and Diocesan Carnivals. Students can then be selected to compete at MacKillop and State levels. Good Samaritan has a clear policy regarding student participation in sporting gala days and representation at competitive sports. Parents are asked to become familiar with this policy.
This term in PDHPE, students in Amaroo Gold will learn about:
Personal Development and Health:
Students will recognise the need to share and cooperate with others. They will also learn how to demonstrate active listening skills.
We will also introduce and review the Zones of Regulation. Zones of Regulation is an approach used to support the development of self-regulation in children. All the different ways children feel and the states of alertness they experience are categorized into four coloured zones. Children who are well regulated are able to be in the appropriate zone at the appropriate time.
PE/SPORT:
Students will join with Year 1 for PE lessons throughout the term. In Term 1, Amaroo students will also participate in the Disability Trust’s ‘Sports Ready’ program, which teaches students a range of skills and modified games, while focusing on enjoyment and participation for all students.
