Welcome
My name is Mitchell Stuart and this is my second year at NKPS. I have a huge passion for sport and hope to encourage students to get involved and participate to the best of their abilities. I look forward to introducing new games and skills to the students, but most importantly I want the students to enjoy learning and striving to be their best this year.
Can I encourage all parents and guardians to remind students to bring their bucket hats and water bottles to school every day. Don’t forget to wear sneakers on sporting days and promote the use of sunscreen to build sun smart habits.
Term 1
It will be another hot start to the year this Term, so please ensure students have their bucket hats, sunscreen, water bottles and sneakers, especially on their sport days.
During hot days, sport lessons will be adjusted to inside activities to keep students out of the heat where possible. Thankfully we have a fan in the undercover area to keep us a bit cooler on the warm days.
This Term will be an exciting one, introducing some new sports such as Flag Football and Baseball5!
Flag Football will be a new Olympic sport to make its debut in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. Flag Football is an adaptation of American Football, making it a non-contact sport with 'tackles' being replaced with tags around players waists. It is a fun, exciting, fast paced sport that I am sure the kids will enjoy.
Baseball5 is a small sided adaptation of Baseball with no bat and a special type of ball. Players use their hand as the bat in a smaller playing area with teams usually having 5 players each. This makes the game more flexible and accessible than a regular game of baseball.
