PDHPE

This Key Learning Area involves learning to develop an active, healthy lifestyle; developing skills in interpersonal relationships, positive values, attitudes and beliefs.

The students participate in regular physical activity with their classroom teacher and a specialist teacher is employed for explicit Physical Education lessons with the students.

Our four colour houses are Keenan (green), Crawford (red), Polding (yellow) and Gilroy (blue).

Sport is recognised as part of a set of important life skills that will increase well-being and confidence.  The students have many opportunities to participate in sport in school as well as out of school.

Children are taught the skills to be able to participate at either the competitive or non-competitive level.  Students from Year 3-6 are able to participate in Gala Days against all Catholic Schools on the Northern Beaches in soccer, eagle tag, netball, cricket, basketball, AFL, rugby league and tennis. Students are able to advance to the Diocesan or State level in Cross Country, Athletics and Swimming.

Senior students are given the opportunity to try out for representative Catholic teams in a large variety of summer and winter sports.

The classroom teacher is responsible for the teaching of the personal development and health outcomes from the English K-10 Syllabus.
