Physical Education

Physical Education

With a focus on inclusivity and enjoyment, we encourage every child to develop a lifelong love for movement and healthy living. Through a wide variety of fun activities, sports and games, students’ physical skills, teamwork and confidence grow. We aim to create an environment which will allow each student’s skill level to flourish and their passion for activity to grow. In P.E. there will be many occasions for students to explore new activities and refine known skills. Through this, students can move outside their comfort zones and experience some challenging but rewarding situations.

PE is not just about staying active—it’s about supporting our Gaters overall physical, mental, and social development, contributing to a healthy future.

Students participate in a comprehensive program which includes Inter-school sport, House sports and specialised programs in athletics, cross country, cricket, basketball, netball, soccer, rugby, hockey, swimming, tennis, bike-ed and dance. Students participate in a daily running program to further encourage health and fitness. Sporting excellence is fostered through practice and participation.

All lessons are conducted in an environment that benefits from spacious surrounds, excellent outdoor surfaces and gymnasium.

Gaters love their sport and the catch cry ‘Go Gaters’ can be heard loud and clear as students support one another in their sporting endeavours!.
