Sports and Outdoor Programs
Physical Education is a compulsory subject for all students in Years 7 to 10. The sports chosen for each year group have been carefully selected to suit the needs of the majority of our students. Teachers may use some discretion for any classes with particular interests or especially high or low skill levels and adjust the program accordingly.

Outdoor Education aims to provide students the skills and experiences to safely enjoy the marine and terrestrial environments – snorkelling, kayaking, orienteering, fishing, body boarding, camping and bushwalking are a few activities. The planning skills and actual physical skills needed for a number of outdoor pursuits are developed.
