Physical Education

PE and PMP

Active students and learning fundamental motor skills is a high priority at Arthurs Creek Primary School. Students take part in multiple weekly Physical Education and/or Perceptual Motor Program sessions to learn skills and increase fitness levels.

Athletics, ball handling, batting games, dance, swimming (Years 1-6) and basic gymnastics are part of our program. Students in grades 4 – 6 take part in Interschool sports in Terms 2 and 4.

Students have access to our well-resourced sports equipment at play times and often play team games in multi age situations.

During the year we are often fortunate to be granted funds via the Sporting Schools program. This allows us to receive visits from experts in a various sporting fields, and provide each of our grades with skills and knowledge in their particular sport.

In recent times, we have also been able to offer sessions in orienteering, soccer and hockey run by local community clubs and at the end of year everyone celebrates with house sports.
