For the past 2 weeks, grade 8 students have been working hard in classes. We have been doing fitness testing in pe, this includes the beep test, 20m sprint, agility run, plank, basketball throw, vertical jump and tennis throw. Some grade 8’s and some grade 7’s went to Marist to represent parklands in footy, we had a good game winning against Yolla, but sadly lost against Marist. On the 1^st of September we have our winter sports day. Towards the end of last term, we got to pick some sports that we would like to do. Some of these sports were, sports for girls, camp clayton, sip and paint, swimming, basketball, Lazer tag, bowling, bike riding, etc. During pc we have been learning how to write a resume because we are coming of age to get part time jobs. Also, during pc, the classes voted on new class captains, in 8A the class captains are, Ashlee Collins and Mataya Dunham. In 8B Isabelle Scott and Krystal Elphinstone. In 8C Temperence McDonald and Dainton Murach. In 8D Shanae Blair and Rhune Nichols. Congratulations to these students on being term 3/4’s class captains.
