Welcome to what is shaping up to be another bumper year in the Health and Physical Education fields for Coomera Rivers State School.  Our team consists of Mr Jason Raffin and Mr Jack Burrows, both full time and Mrs Belinda O’Sullivan (part time).

NRL All Stars

Our school has been invited to attend a Rugby League Gala day on February 20 to coincide with the NRL All Stars match here on the Gold Coast. Our students get to play matches against a range of local schools and mix with some NRL stars.

Broadwater Representative Sport Opportunities

Students turning 10 -12 years of age in 2020 are eligible to trial for our District Sporting Representative team, the Broadwater team. There are Rep teams in a whole range of sports. We will conduct trials here at school and if your child is selected, they will receive an information pack about the Broadwater Rep Sport trials. As each sports trial is conducted, we will notify Parents/Caregivers through this newsletter, on the Sports Noticeboard (located in the Café covered Area) and we also remind the Students in HPE classes. Two Broadwater trials are coming up shortly. If your child plays Baseball or Softball and would like to trial for the Rep team, please see Mr Raffin or Mr Burrows. The Broadwater Swimming Trials are also coming up shortly. If your child is a strong swimmer, aged 10-12 this year and would like to be considered, please send us a list of their events and Personal Best times. Please note, the Trials are held in a 50 metre pool so all times must be at least 50m distances, not 25m. if you have any queries about this or anything to do with Health and Physical Education, please see Mr Raffin, Mr Burrows or Mrs O’Sullivan.

Running and Fitness Club

Running and Fitness Club commences next week. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school from 07:45, we conduct a Running Club where students of all ages can join in and run laps around our oval. We also encourage any parents or teachers to join in.  This year we will be giving out monitoring and rewarding students that achieve distances and milestones in their total laps run. There will be medallions presented to students who achieve their goals.  Running Club is coordinated by Ms Cindy McLean.

Similar to Running Club, on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 07:45, we will be conducting Fitness Club activities on the oval for any interested students and parents.  Students of any age can join in. There will be a variety of activities including basic body weight exercises, skipping, invasion games etc.
