Our Health & Physical Education Learning Area provides students with some of the finest facilities including a well maintained 25 metre, eight lane pool, which is often used by outside groups as a training facility. Our facilities also include a comprehensive strength and conditioning room and gymnasium with high quality netball and volleyball facilities, an abseiling tower and climbing wall as well as seven outside tennis courts, three outside basketball/netball courts, a hockey/soccer oval and full sized football oval.
Wherever possible, our classes in both Health & Physical Education are single-sexed to facilitate our ability to tailor our learning strategies to our groups. Students are assessed on their movement skills, game strategies and tactics, personal management and ability to get along with others during Physical Education. Health Education classes focus on students’ ability to manage their health and understand and implement the reasons for making healthy choices.
Lower College
In Lower College, students are offered the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports to broaden their experience base in movement skills. This enables students to transfer these skills to all aspects of their life; it is proven that more coordinated people are successful in other areas of life including reading, writing, logical deduction and empathy. As well as movement skills, the development of a healthy positive mental and physical attitude is central to the delivery of all aspects of Health, Outdoor and Physical Education.

Our programs are designed to engage, challenge, and prepare students for future success.
