Physical Education is supported by grant funded clinics, extracurricular sports days and our annual swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals. Majura has a close working relationship with School Sports ACT, which provides opportunities for students to represent the region or state in their chosen sport. Events such as Jump Rope for Heart and Weetbix active bands are regular fixtures on our calendar. Health We have a Wellbeing team of staff at Majura Primary school whose work is based on Friendly Schools Plus and incorporates resources that align with this framework. Students access age appropriate resources in the form of big books, picture books aligned to SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) along with Smiling Mind, Khan Academy and ClickView. |
