PREMIER’S BE ACTIVE CHALLENGE 2021 Children – don’t forget to get your 2021 Premier’s Be Active Challenges underway. The

challenge requires individuals to record one hour of physical activity, five days a week,

for ten weeks. Your log sheets are available from Mr Grigg. Our younger classes will be

completing their challenges in term 2 and 3 during our health sessions but our older

children (years 6 & 7) are expected to manage these individually.

SPORT INCENTIVE POINTS Our children are already making tracks and achieving some fabulous results in PE. We’ve recognised many students

doing well, participating, and achieving personal bests on the sports and physical activity front. Many sport incentive

points (SIP) have been awarded by simply connecting with and following our school values in sports sessions.

Mrs Dawson came across a fabulous example of our children living our school values by engaging in lunch time play

in week one. A group of year 6 students included some of our new beginning receptions in their game of cricket. It

was so nice to see the respect

that these older boys displayed

towards the younger ones and I

am sure the new receptions

definitively learnt a thing or two

about playing cricket with the big

boys. Thanks Zac, Amali, Corby,

Oli and Lucas for guiding our

young ones!

Ephraim received a sports incentive point on Wednesday by making sure he got around to thank all

of the team members from the team that he played against in handball during PE. This is a great way

to show respect to our opponents in sport – a nice touch Ephraim!

SCHOOL SPORTS SA AWARDS 2020 On Wednesday night our 2020 Aldgate girls state

champion netball team was announced as a finalist for

‘School Sport SA Team of the Year’. Our girls finished

in the top four and we enjoyed a great night together

at the presentation, eating scrumptious canapés and

listening to an inspiring speech from the Minister of

Education John Gardiner, and the sporting journeys of

Strikers fast bowler Wes Agars and Thunderbirds

captain Hannah Petty. It was great to be

acknowledged as one of SA’s most significant school

sporting stories of 2020. Congratulations girls, a

thoroughly deserved accolade. Thanks to School Sport

SA, The Advertiser and The Messenger for hosting the

evening and for recognising the girls’ achievement.
