It has been wonderful to see students actively participating in our Physical Education and Sport curriculum over the past week. The warm weather has provided the perfect opportunity for outdoor activities, including our House Swimming trials. We remind all students and parents to prioritise sun safety throughout Term 1 by regularly applying sunscreen and wearing a hat during PE and Sport classes.

ICCES Badminton & Table Tennis
The ICCES Badminton and Table Tennis trials are well under way in preparation for the ICCES Cross Campus trials on Friday 21st February. The popularity of these sports has created a competitive selection process for students to test their skills in a variety of drills and competitive play. Following this trial, 3-4 player teams will be selected to represent BMG in the following categories – Junior Girls & Boys (Yr 7 to 9) and Senior Girls & Boys (Yr 10 to 12). The ICCES Badminton & Table Tennis competition will take place at MSAC on Tuesday 4th March.
Outdoor and Environmental Studies – Coastal Expedition
This week, Unit 3/4 Outdoor and Environmental Studies students have embarked on their Coastal Expedition. They have travelled to Queenscliff and the surrounding Swan Bay area to explore how humans understand and interact with natural environments. These hands-on experiences will allow students to apply classroom theory while enjoying various outdoor recreational activities.
