Physical Education/Skill Zone


Students attend a weekly, hour long physical education class with Skillzone every Friday that focuses on developing basic fundamental skills around moving the body, understanding movement, and learning through movement. These lessons also introduce different sports and familiarise students with a wide range of equipment and associated skills. Children are taught to work cooperatively in small groups using teamwork and build strategies for being good winners and losers. In addition, classroom teachers also provide weekly Physical Education sessions, as well as incorporating movement breaks and cross-curricular opportunities for learning. 

 

The Physical Education program also includes swimming, cross-country and athletics. The School Athletics will be held in Shepparton at the athletics track, run by the Goulburn Region Small Schools Association. The cross-country event for the whole school will be a shared small school event to continue historic ties, and the Grade 4-6 event will be held by the Goulburn Region Small Schools Association.
