Health and Physical Education

4 February, 2026

Welcome back to 2025. We hope you had a chance to either watch or attend some of Melbourne’s premier sporting events over the summer break!

A few reminders as we begin our new year.

  • We ask students to bring a water bottle and hat to HPE prac classes held outside in Term 1. Suncream is recommended and available for student use when outside.

  • Please ensure your child is wearing supportive runners to class, and not casual street shoes. Unsupportive footwear can lead to injuries such as heel pain, shin splints, shin pain, back pain, sore calf muscles and ankle sprains.

  • Consent2Go permission slips will be available early in Term 1 for all our HPE incursions/excursions and Outdoor Ed camps in 2025.

Term 1 is always a busy start to the year with SIS Sports, Aquatics and Athletics carnival all held within the first few weeks.

We look forward to celebrating Health and Physical Education Week, in week 5, as well as our Year 7 swimming intensive program. Stay tuned for some exciting activities being run, including a table tennis tournament, cross bar challenge, Just Dance, Longest Kick as well as basketball ½ court shots

All students in Years 7-10 will be commencing Term 1 with an Athletics/Fitness unit in preparation for our Athletics carnival later in the term.
