We have physical activity programs for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, with a focus on fundamental movement skills and fitness.
Sport and physical activity are valued and accepted parts of our school's curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child. They provides a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning and development and are an important expression of our culture.
The participation, enjoyment and skill development of our students is the corner-stone of the school sport/ physical activity program. All our students take part in this program.
There are also opportunities to represent our school in the NSW PSSA Knockout competitions as well as representing our school, zone, region and state in numerous sports. As a NSW public school, we benefit from the opportunities for shared activities and competitions with other schools, coordinated by school sport associations. Our school also provides our students with a variety of skills development clinics across numerous sporting endeavours while ensuring the inclusion of all students.
