All boys K-6 have been participating in an aquatics program. The focus has been on Water Safety starting with Kindergarten learning to fall into the water, recover and swim to the edge up to Year 5 & 6 completing a survival sequence including 100m freestyle sprint, 13 minutes of survival strokes and 3 minutes treading water and signaling for help. The Primary boys have also practiced reach, throw, wade and tow rescues.

The boys have had more positive experiences in the Saturday sport program this term. The introduction of the Northern Suburbs Basketball Coaches has boosted the Basketball program with a big focus on ball skills and set plays. The cricket program continues to be supported by Kickstart with many brilliant batting and bowling performances being reported each Saturday.

Thank you to all parents who support the Saturday program, transporting boys and supporting on the sideline!
