A Week of Fun, Fitness, and School Spirit!

PE Week at St Aloysius was a huge success!

Held in Week 6 of Term 4 this annual event celebrated the importance of physical activity, teamwork, and overall health, bringing our school community together for a week of fun and fitness.

Highlights from PE Week:

Throughout the week, students participated in a variety of activities designed to promote physical wellness, sportsmanship, and healthy habits. Our PE teachers worked hard to create an engaging lineup of events that challenged students physically while fostering a spirit of collaboration and school pride.

Here’s a recap of some of the exciting moments from PE Week:

Themed Activity Days

Each day of PE Week featured a different theme, with unique sports, games, and activities that kept students moving and motivated. The daily themes were a big hit with students, and we had so much fun together as a school community:

Mindful Monday: We started the week with a focus on mental wellness. Students participated in meditation and mindfulness exercises, learning the importance of calming the mind and staying present in the moment. It was a peaceful, energising way to set the tone for the week ahead.
Throwback Tuesday: On Tuesday, we took a trip down memory lane with a whole school health hustle lead by Rita, Ms Cass and Ms Anderson. The HPE team dressed in their old school PE gear too!
Wiggle Wednesday: Midweek was all about moving to the rhythm! Students participated in a whole school Just Dance session. It was a perfect way to break up the week with laughter and energy.
Take on the Teacher Thursday: Thursday gave students a chance to face off against their teachers in friendly competitions! Whether it a plank, wall sit, or a netball/ basketball shootout, students got the chance to challenge their HPE teachers and show off their athletic skills in a supportive and fun atmosphere.
Flag It Friday: We wrapped up the week with spirited games of capture the flag where year levels teamed up for friendly competition. The incredible turn out suggests this was a hit and will definitely be on the radar for future years. It was the perfect way to end PE Week with excitement, teamwork, and school spirit.

Why PE Week Matters

PE week promotes and highlights the importance of Health & PE in the Australian Curriculum to the learning and development of children and young people. All students have a right to receive quality physical education teaching, learning programs and the opportunity to be active.

Thanks to the support of our students, teachers, and families, PE Week was a memorable experience that promoted health, fitness, and school spirit. We hope that the energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork from PE Week continue to inspire students to stay active and embrace a healthy lifestyle moving forward.
