From the Head of Health and Physical Education Ms Jodie Scheele
It’s hard to know where to classes. start this newsletter as there The ACC Swimming Team has been training has been a lot going on in the hard at Trinity College’s swimming pool and Physical, Health and Outdoor are progressing well in their preparation for Education Department! Swimming has been a focus in Term One so I will begin by reporting about two of our talented sportspeople, Year 10 Milla Howard and Year 11 Harrison Maude, who both participated in the Rottnest Channel Swim. Milla swam in a quad and Harrison completed it in a duo in fine form placing an amazing 3rd Place for his age group. This is a fantastic achievement for Harrison’s first channel swim. He claimed it was a very tough swim where he battled stingers, currents and swell. I would also like to mention Year 10, Bonnie Baugh who completed the Busselton Jetty swim in the school holidays. Congratulations to these three students, and their families on their achievements. All Year 7-10 classes have been travelling to UWA Aquatics Centre for swimming lessons. We are very fortunate to have the coaching expertise of Mrs Courtney Ivatts who has been working with our school for the past four years. I have seen the development and improvements made by our students with their swimming skills and Courtney has been instrumental in their skill progression. Swimming will continue in the double PE lessons until the end of this term. Well done to all students for your adjustment and organisation to the newly timetabled PE 13
the up-and-coming ACC F-Division Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium on 19 March. We wish all swimmers the best of luck and look forward to watching you back at school oN the live stream.
