During Term three St Josephs Catholic School Kindergarten classes will participate in an interactive golf development program.
The 60 students will enjoy various activities that assist in their development of balance, speed, agility, coordination, focus, imagination and basic math’s skills.
Each session will commence with a small circuit of functional movement skills that include a balance beam, agility ladders, balance balls and soft-ball hitting.
The students will engage in target activities, games, course design and many more fun interactive sessions that will provide the perfect stepping stone for each student as they grow into the game via the ongoing school program in place at St Josephs.
Over the past two years St Josephs has provided a six-week golf program to all students in Years 3 – 6, with visits to Maitland, Paterson and Beresfield Golf Clubs. The commitment to the golf program is lead by Catherine Wallace who attended a Jack Newton Junior Golf Teacher Training Day a few years ago. Catherine has continued to encourage fellow staff members that have also undertaken the golf program as part of their weekly PE sessions.
Tri-Golf equipment is the only adapted golf resource developed specifically for use in schools and is the safest equipment available. Each Tri-Golf pack includes chippers with over-sized clubheads, putters, a variety of over-sized foam balls and other items needed to run the games and activities. The clubs have been specially designed so that they are safe to use in the school environment and make it easy for the very young children to achieve success.
