ACC ATHLETICS HONORARY ALL STAR TEAM Following the ACC ‘B’ Division

Athletics Carnival in Term 3,

the ‘Virtual Carnival’ results

are compiled which

combines all the results from

A – H Carnivals. The School

finished as the 6th Overall ACC Co-Educational School. I am

exceptionally pleased with this result, as this is our best overall placing,

improving on last year’s seventh position. The

School has been placed in the Top 10 ACC Schools for both Athletics

and Cross Country (third) in 2014. This demonstrates significant

improvement across both sporting disciplines and bodes well for 2015,

where we hope to maintain our place in the Top 3 for Cross Country

and be challenging for the ‘A’ Division Championship in Athletics.

From over 48,000 students representing 67 schools, the following five students from Peter Moyes ACS Athletics Squad are members of the ACC Honorary All Star Team, meaning they ranked as one of the top two students in Division I events across all Carnivals (A to H), a superb achievement for which they are to be congratulated upon:

Liam Van Der Spuy (U15 Capt.)

He is also named to the ACC U15 Boys 4x100m Relay. Not only was Liam ‘B’ Division Champion U14 Boy, but in addition, Liam was the overall Champion U15 Boy across all divisions – an outstanding achievement, demonstrating his consistency in the sprinting events. Liam has three more years at the School and will need to qualify once more to achieve ACC Letters, the highest individual ACC Sporting Award possible.

Delaney Smith (U15 Capt.)

Javelin (37.15) & Shot Put (10.94) This is the third consecutive year Delaney has made the ACC Honorary All Star Team; qualifing for both Javelin and Shot Put demonstrating her consistency across both throwing disciplines.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN SCHOOLS In the September Accredited Athletics Coach Newsletter, there was an interesting article about the value and importance of physical activity within Schools. In an age where sedentary lifestyles are becoming more prevalent due to a variety of reasons, it is important to remember the importance that physical activity plays in the growth, development and social aspect of children . Here are five reasons why we need promote and emphasize the importance that physical activity in our schools and how it can positively affect our students: 1. Physical activity helps to enlarge your brain's basal ganglia which controls your ability to focus. We all know how

hard it can be to focus at times and we are living in a day and age where a plethora of things are vying for our students' attention. Therefore, any measures we can put in place that will help our students to not just maintain their focus, but also enhance their focus, most certainly will pay off when it comes to student learning.

2. Physical activity positively affects several vitally important areas of health. Steady amounts of physical activity will prevent obesity and will help to maintain proper levels of blood pressure. Additionally, physical activity will ensure students grow up with healthy bone structures as they continue their skeletal development. Finally, cholesterol levels will also be kept in-check with daily physical activity. As we all know, students who are physically healthy will be in school more often and absent less and will be better able to focus on their learning.

3. Physical activity helps you sleep and improves your overall sleep quality. When we get consistent and daily doses of exercise our sleeping experiences become higher quality. Since the physical body needs the nightly recharge more, the body is able to fall asleep faster and get into a 'deeper' level of sleep more quickly. Because of this, the quality of sleep goes up drastically and a classroom full of well-rested and recharged students will always perform better than a room full of tired and fatigued students.

4. Physical activity is a natural stress reliever. When we are stressed we are unable to focus as well and we become tired more easily due to struggles with sleeping. Additionally, we are less able to be patient and are much more susceptible to mood swings. When we get physical activity we are able to relieve and diminish these levels of stress which in turn will have several positive effects on our overall mental and physical health. Stressed students don't and can't learn, so let's ensure they have some outlets to keep the stress at a minimum.

5. Physical activity stimulates brain plasticity. Brain plasticity allows our brains to be more 'fluid' and 'moldable' so to speak. When this happens, our brains are able to make new connections as well as able to strengthen existing connections. The more and stronger neuronal connections we have the better able we are to learn and retain information. This obviously has huge implications for our students on how and when they learn.
