Promote Participation, Celebrate Competition
Students in the primary years (Prep to Year 6) are engaged in a developmentally appropriate Physical Education Program run by a Specialist PE teacher for one hour a week.
“We strongly acknowledge the fact that regular, vigorous physical activity makes a positive contribution to children’s health.”
We offer a PE program which caters for their immediate physical development needs, while encouraging them to be physically active for life.
Our well organised PE program is designed to help children
– become fitter and healthier
– develop their natural tendency to play and explore
– develop movement competence and confidence
– refine the skills of body management and control, hand-eye and foot-eye coordination
– develop skills related to the use of equipment and apparatus through participation in pleasurable games and pastimes
– learn to move rhythmically and offer scope to express ideas and feelings
– improve self-confidence and social competence through successful involvement with peers, parents and teachers
– become more able to cope with stress and anxiety
– overcome sexual stereotyping
Our program is designed to provide experiences which reflect:
- Variety, Vigour, Vitality
- Confidence and character building
- Challenge
- Achievement
- Enjoyable hard work and play
- Co-operation and competition
- Individual and group involvement
- Relaxation and adventure
