Survival skills in water

As part of our 'Find your Field of Dreams' sponsored swimming lessons, all classes learned about water survival. Some completed this lesson in the school pool and others at HBHS. 
The instructors taught them how to get into huddles in the water to keep safe, how to fall safely in to deep water and how life jackets protect us.

This year, our school is joining the Junior Football programme run by WAIBOP Football. This skills-based programme is run locally by Claudelands Rovers football club. We can register our students to play together within a team with a school name, hosted by Claudelands Rovers. At this stage, we are asking families to give us an expression of interest on the form below by Friday 16th March, and we will make up the teams. Once we have team details, we will ask families to register their child/ren and make payment of fees.

Information:

• Cost is $70 per player for all the junior grades in 2018. Payment is not needed yet, but will need to be made once we have made the teams.

• Games for all junior grades are on Saturday and vary depending on the weekly draw. In each session for ages 5-6, there is a skill centre session and a game, and the venue is mainly at Galloway Park. Players 7 and over may play games at other parks, depending on the weekly draw.

• Uniform  Ages 4,5 & 6 are supplied with a uniform by Claudelands Rovers to use for the season as part of their fees. For players 7 and above, uniforms are to be purchased from the club by the player’s family. Details to follow.

• Boots / shin pads: Soccer boots are essential for all players and from ages 7 and up shin pads are required. A limited number of second hand boots and shin pads may be available to borrow for the season - more details to follow.

Jump Jam Trials - 2018

Miss Rasmussen is well underway with Jump Jam trials this year.

We are entering two teams into the same competition as last year - Strictly Jump Jam.  This means that we need to learn the routine exactly how it is shown on our Jump Jam DVD's.

Jump Jam is a fun, dance and exercise programme that really gets the heart pumping!  Check out our 2017 Jump Jam team in the Finals in a previous blog post!

There has been lots of interest from all children in years 3-6.  The talent we have at HES is outstanding!

Keep listening to the 10am News - there are more trials this week, with the final teams being announced next week!
