Stars of sport

STAR athletes gave students the right sporting approach when they visited Gembrook Primary School last week.
A number of elite sports people, including Beijing bronze medalist and Hockeyroo Andrew Smith, popped in as part of the Coach Approach program.
The program promotes sports participation and includes team sports challenges and pep talks from the athletes.
Gembrook Primary School physical education teacher Sally Cunningham said the visit complemented the school’s ‘Go for Your Life’ program.
“This is an exciting program that encourages young people to be physically active and involved in team sports,” she said.
“Our children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and were inspired by the athletes.
“Gembrook Primary is an accredited ‘Go for your Life’ school, so promoting a healthy lifestyle is something our school community values highly.”
