Year 4-12 Online Sport

We are pleased to announce that an online sports group will be launched this week in Nav for students across Year 4-12.

With the majority of students at home and unable to participate in regular sport with social distancing rules, we are providing opportunities for our students to participate in basic skill and movement activities. Regular physical activity plays an essential role in both our mental and physical health, so we have worked with some of our sports coaches and local businesses to produce online videos for our students to complete.

Students at home are encouraged to watch and participate in one or more of these online sports during their normal Thursday (Year 4-6) and Friday (Year 7-12) sport time. Students still at school will participate in the same online programs, under teacher supervision.

Currently, students have the opportunity to participate in following sports or activities:

• Soccer
• Netball
• Basketball
• High Intensity Fitness
• Lower Intensity Fitness

We will be working to introduce more sports and interactive opportunities for students over the next few weeks such as surfing and running.

The Nav sport pages can be accessed under My Groups in the left menu bar.

Students and families must watch the safety induction from Mr Darren Hooper before scrolling down to choose your sport from the folders listed.

Working out at home is very different to being in a big space at school. There are a number of things that students and families need to ensure prior to completing any of these online sessions.

• Parent supervision is required for all sessions. Parents are also required to ensure the activity area is safe for the sessions to be completed.
• A safe activity area must be established – including but not limited to: a flat floor, clear space away from any obstacles or anything breakable including glass windows/doors, good clearance above your head and arms for jumping.
• Students must wear workout clothing – sports clothes must be worn including sports shoes, hat and sunscreen if you are outside.

Students can access all sports sessions. There is also a survey component attached to the page where students can provide feedback.
