PALs in action

Today the PALs (Physical Activity Leaders) ran an activity for students to participate in. A key focus for PALS has been ensuring they impart the idea of FAIR play to participants, and they are doing a fantastic job.

Well done Bailey

Bailey Parker got this trophy and award for being a valuable member of the 7yrs Red Team for Halswell Rugby League.

Cricket

Today we took part in a special cricket training session. We learned some cricket skills.

Football Fun

Today the Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) ran a football session for students in year 4-6. The rules were agreed upon and the PALs refereed the game.
