News from New Holland Drive Campus

Let’s have a look at the grade 3/4

We have had a wonderful start to Term 2 in the Grade 3/4 PLC at Marnebek School! In our first week back, students enjoyed celebrating Easter with a range of fun and creative activities. It was lovely to see everyone reconnecting and sharing stories from their holidays.

We also took time to learn about the significance of ANZAC Day. Our students were highly engaged as they created beautiful poppy wreaths to honour the soldiers and reflect on the meaning of "Lest We Forget." It was a meaningful experience for all, helping to deepen their understanding of this important part of Australian history.

Let’s hear from the Year 11/12

PE at Marnebek

It’s been an action-packed year so far in the Physical Education department, and we’re thrilled to share what our students have been up to across all year levels.

Term One Highlights
We kicked off the year by introducing students to a variety of simple games that focused on teamwork, strategy, and basic movement skills. As the term progressed, students developed their abilities in basketball and cricket, working on both individual techniques and team play. These units helped build coordination, sportsmanship, and a strong foundation for future sporting activities.

What’s Ahead in Term Two
This term, students will be diving into kickball, T-ball, and lacrosse, learning new rules, tactics, and skills unique to each sport. Our junior students will continue to develop their fundamental motor skills, including running, jumping, catching, throwing, and kicking, through fun and engaging activities designed to boost confidence and physical literacy.

Beyond the Classroom
In addition to our regular PE program, students have had the opportunity to take part in several exciting events so far this year. These include:

Our annual swimming program
Specialist visits from DS Sports
Basketball training
Interschool sports competitions
The whole school Lap-a-thon
Come and Try Tennis Day
Rugby incursion at the Corrigans Road campus

Upcoming Events
We’re also looking forward to more exciting opportunities this term, including:

A visit from the St Kilda Football Club Education Department
The Interschool Cross Country
The highly anticipated Surf Camp

We’re proud of our students' enthusiasm, progress, and commitment to physical activity. The rest of the year promises even more opportunities for growth, learning, and fun in PE!
