Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.

Picton Public School Equestrian Team

Camden Interschool Equestrian Carnival

Despite the constant rain leading up to the Carnival and on the day, the CIEC went ahead on Saturday 4 September.  We were fortunate that three of our riders were still able to compete as their horse and ponies were not bothered by the dismal conditions.  These riders were Wyatt Styles and his pony, Seraph, Connor Philpott-Tyson and his pony Bess (who is due to become a mum any day now!) and Whitney Hay who rode Dom.  Unfortunately Melissa Wardle and Daydream, Shauna Smith and Kipper and Maighan Duck and Mr Boom Bastic were unable to attend because of the wet conditions, but they did participate in the team training day and all looked great.

Our team had some great results:

Wyatt   - Beginner Ring

Equal 4th place   – Year 1 Best Presented combination

Equal 4th place   – Year 1 Rider

         5th place    - Beginners mount

         2nd place   - Best trot

Equal 2nd place  - Cutest all round with biggest smile

Equal 4th place   - Longest Mane and Tail

Equal 2nd place  - Fancy Dress (Wyatt's favourite event)

Connor - Novice Primary Ring

3rd place            - Year 2 Best Presented combination

3rd place            - Pair of Riders

Whitney - Intermediate Primary Ring

2nd place            - Year 6 Consolation rider

4th place             - Pair of Riders

Congratulations to our riders and their mounts – a great effort!

A huge thank you must go to Mrs Jackson for her training of our riders and all her advice and encouragement along the way. Thank you to Mr Duck who donated the new ties that the team wore – they were awesome and also to Mrs Crompton who quickly made and donated additional browbands for the larger horses – they were beautiful.

Of course our Equestrian team would not be possible without the support of all the parents who transported their children to the training day, prepared ponies and braved the terrible weather on the day of the competition – thank you!
