Personal Development, Health & Physical Education

A healthy life style is actively promoted in our school with an emphasis early in the year on the promotion of high self-esteem, setting goals and exercising. We have a whole school approach to this subject with Personal Development being integrated into the every day pastoral care attitude by the staff.

Students learn about maintaining an active lifestyle, interpersonal relationships and personal health choices. They also understand their own growth and development and safety issues. The Gold Medal Fitness program commenced last year and it continues to encourage students to develop their understanding of correct procedures in such activities as running, throwing and catching. Every child participates in one 40 minute gymnastic lesson for a period of 10 weeks.
