Physical Education is part of the school curriculum for all year levels, with all students receiving 1 x 30 minute lesson a week conducted by a specialist PE Teacher. The Physical Education Programme is year level appropriate and covers fundamental movement skills and a variety of individual and team sports.  Major events on the PE calendar  include the annual Cross Country and Athletics carnivals in both the Junior and Senior school. In the upper students also have an opportunity to participate in intra-school, inter school and district competitions in a variety of individual and team sports.  

The significant part of the PE Curriculum is Athletics in term 2, with all students learning the fundamentals of throws (discus and shot put), jumps (long jump and high jump) and running events (sprints and middle distance).  In term 4 students in year 3 and 4 will have Swimming lessons which are conducted at the Goodna Aquatic Centre. Outside of these major components, the senior school can look forward to Speed Soccer, League Tag, Basketball and minor games. The junior school will touch on a variety of the previously mentioned team sports, but the central focus will be developing and further mastery of fundamental skills of kicking, throwing, catching and movement patterns. 

Students aged 10 to 12 who qualify at our school Cross Country, Athletics and Swimming events will be invited to represent the school at the Central District trials. These trials are a pathway for further honours for all nominated students. 

Representative trials for District Teams are held throughout the year.  Interested students (aged 10-12 years) need to contact the Physical Education Teacher; Josh Elwell when trials are announced for further information. These trials are advertised heavily through Newsletter, Facebook, PE Classes and through the handout given to all students who meet the required age requirements. 

Students are required to have and wear a sun safe hat during Physical Education lessons.  Students who are unable to participate in Physical Education lessons due to illness or injury should provide a note explaining their inability.  ​
