Health and Physical Education Week
19 September 2024

This week, Sacred Heart College celebrated Health and Physical Education Week, with a vibrant array of activities promoting active and healthy lifestyles. Each day began with energizing morning activities, and lunchtimes featured exciting House competitions, culminating in the highly anticipated Staff vs Year 12 students netball match.

Year 12 students were privileged to hear from SHC alumni Lauretta Hanson, Olympic cyclist, and Kate Darby, Geelong Cats AFLW player. They shared their inspiring journeys, highlighting the challenges and dedication required to become professional athletes, motivating students to follow their passions.

Wednesday’s Healthy Burger Day was a standout, offering delicious and nutritious burgers for staff and students. Thank you to Lucy (you are amazing) and the Year 11 VM students for their preparation work. On Thursday, the College community proudly sported their favourite sports or footy colours, with special kudos to the Year 12s for their creative costumes. 

A big thank you to our HPE team, including Georgia and Ange, our College Sports Captains, for making this week a success! Without the support of so many, such a week would not be possible – thank you.

Remember, developing healthy habits like regular exercise, balanced eating, and sufficient sleep is essential for boosting concentration, improving mood, and reducing stress. We hope everyone enjoyed the week, and we encourage you to stay safe and active over the break!
