Physical Education

Every week all students from PP to Year 6 are engaged in a 60 minute Physical education lesson which is facilitated by Mr Crake or Mr Alessandrini. Kindergarten students also engage in Fundamental Movement Skills with their classroom teachers. Over the school year we focus on learning key skills over a series of different sports to create a fun, supportive and rich physical education experience. PP to Year 2 lessons are focused on developing FMS across common movement types found on the sporting field. Year 3 to Year 6 students can utilise the skills learnt in lower primary and bring them to game situations.

Throughout the year we organise various in school competitions including the Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals. Our most capable Year 3-6 students are then invited to compete against other schools at inter school events. Year 6 students are also given the opportunity to trial for winter and summer sports such as AFL, Modcrosse, Soccer, Netball, Basketball, Cricket, Tee Ball and Volleyball. They are then given the opportunity to challenge themselves against other schools.

Each year, we apply for grants from Sporting Schools and specialist coaches develop new skills, in a range of sports such as Ultimate Frisbee, Rugby League and Athletics. We also offer opportunities to enter Glory Cup and Futsal competitions, coached by our own Ms Tabain and Mr Ribeiro.
