Welcome to the LSSSA Website

Here you’ll find rules and information relating to LSSSA activities. If you poke around you’ll find rules for our rostered sports, resources to use in HPE lessons and other info.

Dick Telford is the man! Good thing some LSSSA members are attending the ACHPER Conference next week to hear him as one of the keynote speakers. This article lists him as in charge of a new study showing Fitter children perform better in school. Also mentions him chatting to the ABC (Australia’s national broadcaster) so I think I’ll poke around and find the interview.

Happy reading – Link

Update – Here’s the ABC link – Part of the ABC Science section – It compares NAPLAN Results against Fitness
