ELC - Year 2 Sports Day

Our wonderful Emmaus community recently enjoyed a fun ELC-Year 2 Sports Day at the Western Youth Reserve oval. We were blessed with great weather and clear skies on the day. It was incredible to see our young Emmaus athletes dressed in their House colours, and the comradery amongst the students was palpable. The day began with an enthusiastic and upbeat health hustle led by Mrs Collins, Mr Bloomfield, and the Year 6 leaders across both campuses, which set the stage for the fun ahead.

Students rotated through various stations with individual and team activities. Each station was supported by a Year 6 leader and a Year 9 helper who encouraged safety and fun for all. It was amazing to see our young students work together in their house teams and demonstrate teamwork while having fun together. Students enjoyed jumping and landing safely on trampolines, going over hurdles, kicking footy and soccer balls, striking a ball with a cricket bat, and participating in several team activities.

One of the highlights of the day was the running races to finish off the day. Each class had girls and boys race over a certain distance for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. Our young runners ran hard and demonstrated great sportsmanship, to the joy of the spectators cheering them on.

Sports Day finished off with a cheerful family picnic lunch on the oval. It was lovely to see new relationships form and heartwarming to watch our Emmaus community enjoy one another’s company in uplifting ways during the picnic. A big thank you to all the staff, volunteers and Emmaus community for making this day such an enjoyable and memorable experience.
