Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.
According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.
PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.
PSSA
The Primary Schools Sports Association of New South Wales organises opportunities for children to represent their school in sports such as athletics, basketball, netball, soccer, softball, swimming, AFL, cross country, rugby league and rugby union.
Major school sports carnivals are held three times each year: Swimming in Term 1, Cross Country in Term 2 and Athletics in Term 3. Champions from these carnivals can then go on to compete at regional and state PSSA carnivals. Children from our school are often sucessful at these carnivals.
