Meet the Teachers! 

term 4

As Term 4 kicked off, our students were welcomed back to an exciting surprise in the gym, the arrival of two massive digital screens! These new additions have already begun transforming our PE space, taking our lessons, activities, and events to a whole new level.

The screens are incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide range of PE-related functions. Whether it’s displaying live scoreboards during games, showing instructional videos to support skill development, blasting music to energise warm-ups, or even using buzzer sounds for team challenges and time-keeping.These screens have quickly become an integral part of the gym experience.

We’ve already seen the positive impact in classes and sporting events. Students are more engaged, and teachers have a powerful new tool to enhance both teaching and the overall atmosphere. From dynamic fitness circuits to inter-house competitions and whole-school sports assemblies, the possibilities are endless!

We’re incredibly privileged to have access to this kind of technology in our school. It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating fun, inclusive, and innovative PE experiences for every student. These screens don’t just bring excitement, they bring opportunity. We look forward to exploring all the ways they can support learning, teamwork, and a love for physical activity.

Here’s to a high-energy, high-tech Term 4 in PE!

Gymnastics

We've had an amazing time in gymnastics, learning new skills and moving our bodies in exciting ways! From tumbling and flips to balancing and athletic acrobatic moves, each session helps us grow stronger, more agile, and more confident. With lots of laughter, teamwork, and persistence, we're trying new challenges, supporting each other, and having so much fun along the way!

AFL Victoria & Essendon Football Club

We were so excited to have AFL Victoria and players from the Essendon Football Club visit us! They led us through fun and fast-paced footy drills like handballing, kicking, and running games. With big smiles and plenty of energy, we built our teamwork, coordination, and confidence while learning from the pros. It was such a great way to stay active, try something new, and have a kick with our friends!

Soccer

Soccer continues to be a school favourite, and it's easy to see why! We've been dribbling, passing, and shooting our way through exciting drills and games that build our skills and teamwork. Whether it's a friendly match or a fun warm-up challenge, everyone’s been getting involved, showing great sportsmanship, and having a ball out on the pitch!

Team Building

Our team building games have been a highlight, bringing everyone together through laughter, cooperation, and problem-solving! From group challenges to partner activities, these games help us build trust, communicate effectively, and support one another, all while having loads of fun. They’re a great way to strengthen friendships and learn the power of working as a team!

Movement & Physical activity

We’ve had so much fun welcoming our new Prep students as they start their big school adventure! They’ve been learning through movement -balancing, climbing, jumping, and exploring how their bodies move in all sorts of fun ways. With lots of smiles and teamwork, they’re taking turns, trying new challenges, and enjoying games with their new friends! beneficial, helping us grow stronger and more agile each week!

Hume Tennis Program

Throughout this year, all year levels will have the exciting opportunity to participate in a 4-week tennis program run by specialist coaches from Hume Tennis. From our youngest Preps learning basic racket and ball coordination to our senior students developing their forehand, backhand, and rallying skills, each session is tailored to suit the needs of every age group. It’s been a fantastic way for students to build confidence, improve movement and agility, and enjoy learning tennis in a fun, hands-on environment.

Cross Country

In term 2 our students proudly represented our school at the district Cross Country event, competing against students from other local schools. It was a great opportunity for them to challenge themselves, show resilience, and demonstrate school spirit in a competitive yet supportive environment. We were so proud of the way our students gave their best effort, encouraged one another, and displayed great sportsmanship throughout the day.

Basketball

In Term 1, all year levels at Aitken Creek have been focusing on developing their basketball skills through a range of fun and engaging activities. Students have been learning and practising key skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, while also working on teamwork and communication. Our year 6 students will have the exciting opportunity to participate in the inter-school basketball gala day in Week 10, where selected students will represent our school in a full day of competition against other schools. Across the school, it’s been fantastic to see students challenge themselves, build confidence, and enjoy playing basketball together!
