A message for students and parents This year Port Douglas State School is providing students turning ten, eleven and twelve with the opportunity to commit to a training program beginning in week one of term one. The aims of the program are to prepare and improve children s running ability to maximize performances in the school and district events, with the vision of having students selected in a Peninsula Regional team. The first goal of the program is to have students finish in the top five competitors at the Peninsula Regional Cross-country Trials, giving them the opportunity to represent the Peninsula Region at the Queensland Championships. The program will then focus on track events and later in the year preparation for those turning 11 for the aquathon. At school, the students will be coached by Miss Skye on Mondays and Wednesdays, myself on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Mrs Power, Mr Bilney and myself when available on Fridays. sessions will be conducted and signed off on in the students personal training record. Students will be completing regular time trials to track performance and improvement. This information will be also be recorded in the students training record along with event results. Parents or students will be required to sign off on any weekend training. (This has been kept to a minimum in view of other sporting commitments). Cardiovascular fitness is greatly enhanced by core fitness. A core fitness program has been included in the weekly training sessions and can be found on the next page.
