Physical Education
The physical development of our children plays an important part in our program.  Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 focus on Fundamental Movement Skills in their weekly Sport and P.E. sessions.  These skills provide the building blocks for successful participation in sports in later years.  Classes in Years 3 to 6 have weekly physical education lessons which are skills based. 

Gymnastics and Dance Programs
Students participate in a 35 minute lesson each week for eight weeks.  Lessons are conducted by outside experts in cooperation with the classroom teacher and cost $24. Children show marked improvement in agility, coordination and flexibility upon completion of the program.

Interschool Sport
Our school participates in inter-school competitions conducted by the Castle Hill District Primary School Sports Association (PSSA).  Involvement in these team games is restricted to those children in Years 3 to 6 and is held on Friday afternoons in winter and Friday morning in summer.  Training sessions are held for these children during the week.

Our school enters District Carnivals in Swimming, Cross Country Running Athletics and Ball Games.  Our representatives are between 8 to 13 years of age.

In School Sport
Children in Years 3-6, not involved in the Inter-school Sport Program, participate in a variety of activities that are designed to provide opportunities to develop skills, interest and enjoyment in a wide variety of games. 

School Houses
All children in the school are placed in one of four Houses.  These Houses are used as sporting teams and some class based competitions.  Children from the same family are placed in the same House unless otherwise requested.  The Houses are:

Koonaka (Fire) Red  

Timburra (Earth) Green  

Gundaroo (Water) Blue  

Alunga (Sun) Yellow
