[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It\u2019s been another incredibly busy, but extremely productive and positive week both in Physical Education lessons and sport for students and the entire KIS community in fact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students in Primary have continued their Get Up and Move Olympic focus with some highlights being students in years 5 and 6 trying out \u2018wheelchair\u2019 basketball by using scooters to demonstrate how sport can be tremendously fun and beneficial for all regardless of our individual abilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 2, got a \u2018handle\u2019 on some of the fundamentals of Handball in some small sided modified games. At the end of the lesson students were clearly able to articulate how they all used the elements of Head-Heart-Hands to be successful in their play, highlighting the awesome learning that has been ongoing throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I popped into Year 10 Core PE on Monday to watch a very interesting lesson where Mr Denyer had students doing some \u2018free running\u2019 or parkour basics. This is a wonderful physical activity that allows students to use creativity and problem solving in order to move around obstacles. It is not only a great way to develop physical fitness and mobility but also trains students cognitive skills and also increases self-confidence as they find success in the way they move. Head-Heart-Hands in action! I could potentially see an improvement in students moving between lessons next year after further exploration of this sport!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KIS Tennis Fun Match<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A number of KIS community members including students, parents and teachers were at Likas Tennis courts on Wednesday for what I am told by numerous sources was a FANTASTICALLY FUN day of tennis!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The event was spearheaded by Em Rao, our PTA Co-chair and involved players taking part in singles, doubles and junior doubles competitions. I am so grateful for the initiative<\/span><\/p>\n
