All classes participate in physical activities on a weekly basis. Engaging in physical activities contributes to wellbeing and good health. Our focus is on the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Children are also given opportunities to compete in a variety of different sports in the Victorian School Sports Association at a local, regional and state level.
