The Riverland SAPSASA Boys Football Carnival was held on Wednesday in Week 6. Seven students from Years 5 and 6 represented OLOR in the Berri district team. The OLOR representatives demonstrated great determination and sportsmanship on the day despite going up against some talented footballers from across the Riverland.  

Congratulations to Ashton Wilson and Emmanuel Exarheas on being selected to trial for the Riverland team that will compete in Adelaide later in the year. We wish both boys luck with their trials. 

Physical Education

Our Foundation and 1/2 Class have been learning about Fundamental Movement Skills for the duration of Term 1, focusing on developing basic skills such as balance, running, catching and throwing. Students have engaged in a variety of games to support this development. 

The 2/3, 4/5 and 5/6 classes have begun learning the concept of invasion games and are developing their knowledge of strategies and tactics in a variety of sports contexts. We have also been practicing the concepts of fair and ethical play providing students with the skills necessary to engage in social play in a positive way.
