Staying active – from sport at school to virtual activities

Early in Term 3, students enthusiastically took part in physical activities after months without sport.

Netball

Students had the opportunity to be involved with some netball activities. Once a week, was a practice game to give players a chance to get back onto the court to play the game. On a separate day, there was a skills session that students of all abilities could be involved in to learn some new skills by experienced netballers.

Basketball

Mr Driscoll provided training sessions for Years 7, 8, and 9 once a week. Each year level had their own break time where he taught them new skills or ran mini game sessions.

CMC Virtual Activities

With sports and activities being put on hold for a little while, there is a new way to get involved in a different range of activities – virtually!
