Physical Education

This year the P.E. Department continued to develop the skill and fitness level of our students with particular emphasis on maximising participation rates of all students.

All Year 7-10 students still swam, ran and were tested for W.A.I.S. during Terms 1 and 2 but then each year group participated in different sports each 5 weeks for the remainder of the year.

Student experience a wide range of sports including:

Soccer, Hockey, Volleyball and Gaelic Football,Touch Rugby, Self Defence, Softball, Floor Hockey,

Touch Rugby, Self Defence, Softball, Floor Hockey,

Badminton, Netball / Basketball, Football and European Handball.

The Outdoor Education program provides our students with skills to help maximise the use of the outdoor environment. The Year 9’s progress through snorkelling, rock climbing, team building and camp cooking. Year 10 students learnt the finer points of fishing and first aid.

The Year 11/12 Physical Education class coached primary school students from nearby primary schools in a variety of sports in order to learn the skills of coaching. They also studied tennis and lawn bowls during the year.

The skill development of the students has been dramatic and the success of the program is largely due to the wonderfully committed P.E. teachers.
