Sport Report
Week 7
Swimming - It was great to see the weather clear for the Year 7 girls to attend their swimming session at the pool. Everyone involved had a great time with students learning basic swim safety skills and gaining confidence in the water.
Year 7 & 8 students will be involved in the compulsory swimming program that the school will be conducting at Bradbury Pools in week 6-9 of Term 4. There is a Compass note with more information that needs to be completed and submitted on the Parent Portal ASAP.
This is being run during the students normal Sport time within a 4 week rotation, with the aim of encouraging confidence and improved skills in the water. Students will attend ONE session only.
Students will be participate in the program as follows:
- Week 6 - Year 7 Boys - 9/11/2021 ✅
- Week 7 - Year 7 Girls - 16/11/2021 ✅
- Week 8 - Year 8 Boys - 23/11/2021
- Week 9 - Year 8 Girls - 30/11/2021
This opportunity cannot be found in the school environment and there are water safety aspects within the PDHPE curriculum that are required, including satisfying the outcome of “demonstrates ways to enhance safety in physical activity”. Students will complete activities focused around Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive Awards and general stroke correction.
John Therry Catholic College has a strong sporting culture and heritage and we look to include all students in our sporting pursuits and opportunities. John Therry Catholic College aims to foster a healthy culture of physical activity and ensure our sporting and activities programs are for ALL, regardless of the student’s experience and skill level. Our different programs aim to increase and enhance student’s skills and abilities across a wide variety of physical activity pursuits and sports in order to assist students to develop a positive attitude towards lifelong physical activity and healthy habits.
A reminder that if students are involved in any of the following examples of negative incidents during sport, they will be at risk of being withdrawn from sport:
- Deliberately missing the bus
- Truanting
- Lateness
- Not giving consent prior to activities (Eg. swimming sessions)
- Disrespectful behaviour on charter buses
- Disruptive or disrespectful behaviour during sport
- Poor uniform standards
- Disruptive behaviour during sports detention
- Poor participation
- Not following COVID guidelines
At the beginning of the year, all students and their parents/carers gave consent on an electronic permission note stating that they understood that exemplary behaviour is required whilst participating in sport and physical activity opportunities. There are only 4 weeks of our regular Tuesday Sport left, we hope students can enjoy themselves and behave properly in these final few weeks. If some students do not improve their behaviour this term, they are at risk of being withdrawn from Sport for a period of time or withdrawn completely during Term 4.
