Participation in sport is encouraged. We participate in a variety of sports and, as part of the Health and Physical Education Program, a variety of skills is taught, as children move through the year levels.
Intra school and inter school sporting arrangements will be communicated to parents early in the year. Many of these activities involve a charge to parents for transport or facility hire. Parents need to consider these charges when giving approval for children’s participation.
SPORTS HOUSES
House teams are organised for sports and general competitions. Your child is placed in one of these three houses on enrolment and will remain in that house for their time at the school.
Bowen - Green
Logan - Blue
Oxley – Yellow
SWIMMING
Swimming instruction is held during the first ten weeks (February to April) and the last ten weeks (October to December) of each year.
Classes are timetabled for lessons which are conducted by our Physical Education Teacher and class teacher, in our own heated school pool.
Year 1 have their swimming lessons in a block in Term 4. There is a small charge to cover the cost of specialist instructors.
Swimming is part of the school curriculum. Children must have valid medical reasons if not participating. This must be supported by a note. Please ensure that swimmers, towels and swimming caps are named. All children must wear a cap. To protect your child against skin cancer, sunscreen should be applied before school. It is very helpful if your child's name on the bathing cap is in large black printing on the outside for easy identification while in the pool.
Please send all the above in a separate waterproof bag.
