Year 3 commence their JPSSA Journey

It is a well-recognised fact that regular sport lessons have many benefits for students of all ages.

In Junior School, it encourages positive social and emotional interactions across the year group, allowing students from different classes to mix and play together.

School sport is an important part of life at Scotch and this year, our Year 3 students are excited to begin their journey in JPSSA sport. They will be engaging in regular JPSSA carnivals against Christ Church, Hale, and Aquinas. There will be one carnival a term to allow the students to focus on a particular sport. In Term 1 our students are working on their cricketing skills in PE and on a designated sport period which sees all the boys come together to practise for these carnivals.

Team sports build self-confidence as the students play and learn games which may be new to them. They encourage and develop communication skills as our Year 3s actively share their ideas and communicate their needs to their teammates.

We are excited about showcasing the abilities of the students whilst watching them to develop the important life skills that team sports offer our Scotch students.
