• A breakfast at school in Foundation

Running Club

On Tuesday mornings, at 8am, a dedicated group of 5-10 staff and about eighty students from years 3-6 participate in the now legendary APPS Running Club. In all kinds of weather, students run on our back oval, in Antonio Park, through the bushland adjacent to Antonio Park and in the hall. Students keep track of their fitness and running capacity, and work on running style and speed.
