As winter closes in and with the pitch becoming less playable we have decided to organise uni hoc tournaments to keep our students active throughout rainy days. The tournament takes a round robin format where each team will play each other twice. The top two teams at the end of the series will compete in a final. The teams are available to view on the school blog under our ''Active School'' page. Along with more information regarding our active school initiative!

Which active club are you in? A survey Below is a table showing which clubs our students are apart of. In total the students of Peterswell NS fill 149 places in various clubs which incorporate physical activity. Our Junior room and middle rooms are the most active from an extra curricular perspective. There are only 3 children in the entire school who are not a member of an active club. Looking at the data from a gender balance standpoint; our girls fill up roughly the same number of spaces in clubs as our boys. Well done to all our active students and keep it up!
