Welcome
My name is Mitchell Stuart, and I am a graduate teacher starting my teaching career here at North Kalgoorlie PS teaching Physical Education. 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
Term 1 is almost over, we still have our Interschool Swimming Carnival on the 27th of March and our Jump off Day on the 28th of March.
Students have been participating in the ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ program which has been running from the start of week 4 to the end of week 9. We will be incorporating skipping into our sports lessons and trying to learn new moves and tricks with the skipping rope. This program encourages students to stay active and healthy and achieve the daily recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity. Students can also participate in fundraising for the Heart Foundation during this time, visit www.jumprope.org.au for more information. I would love to see as many students as possible participate and get behind the great cause. It's not too late to sign up and log some skipping minutes!
We have smashed our fundraising goal of $1,500 with students raising $2,086! We are still hoping to achieve our goal of 40 hours of skipping as a school. So far we are on 31 hours, almost there! We have our 'Jump off Day' on the 28th of March, where students will be able to demonstrate their skipping skills and tricks they've been learning and practicing over the past few weeks.
