Building the habit of being regularly physically active in PE is one of the best things you can do for your body - and your mind. Sports build many skills like coordination, resilience and teamwork. And it’s fun!

Course outline
All students in Years 10 to 11 participate in PE for one hour per week. During this time, students will be allowed to select their activities from the options available in that term. In some activities there will be an option to participate as a coach, an official or a performer. Students participate in groups that rotate around activities, therefore all students experience each activity.
It is important that all students take part in Physical Education in Years 10 to 11, and it is an expectation that students will always play an active part in their lesson. It is for this reason that all students, even if they are excused, are expected to bring their kit. If students are excused, they can participate in the lesson as coaches or umpires and therefore be involved.
