This term The Bidgee School students will again participate in BEEP (Bidgee Engagement and Elective Program).
The students have the opportunity to learn new skills.
Some of the students have chosen Mountain Bike Riding. Students are able to learn valuable bike riding skills, perseverance and working as part of a group. They get to ride on a few of the bike tracks up on Willan's Hill and the more experienced have been able to go out to Pomingalarna to challenge themselves.
Another activity the students are particpiating in is Martial Arts. Students attend the Street Alert Gym to learn different tequniques and self-discipline of Martial Arts. They receive expert teaching in both Martial Arts as well as fitness from a fully qualified personal trainer who was a state and national kick boxing champion. The students receive both one on one instruction as well as working as part of a team in a group fitness class. Not only do the lessons improve the fitness levels of the students, but learning the proper techniques and movements of martial arts helps develop higher self-confidence and self-esteem of the students.
