Sports & Physical Education

We have a high level of participation and involvement in various sports and recreational activities. There are a number of school teams that participate in outside competitions. We also have a very organised and competitive inter-house competition for all age groups.

Structured swimming lessons are conducted during Term 1 for all students and again in Term 4 for Junior students only. Years 5 to 8 attend swimming lessons at C- Bay for a two-week block during the year.

Sports equipment is available to students for daily playground play.

Opportunities are offered to students to encourage attendance and participation in summer and winter sports tournaments, cross-country and athletics.

School netball, basketball, touch, softball, and T-ball teams participate in interclub competitions held out of school hours.

There is an expectation that all Year 5-8 students be involved in some form of recreational activity either for an outdoor organisation or school club.
