Sport Curriculum

Students from Prep to Year 12 are provided with the opportunity to participate in a variety of sporting activities through the College curriculum.

Junior College

Our Junior College Physical Education lessons focus around improving body and spatial awareness through actively learning new skills and movement sequences while having fun and increasing fitness.

Regular participation in physical activity can improve movement capacities, personal development and health and wellbeing.

The lessons include small and whole group games that focus on following instructions and rules while developing teamwork and cooperation within groups.

Interactions within lessons involve the students effectively communicating and respecting differences in order to establish positive relationships with their peers and to be able to work well with others.

Students train for Inter-House Cross Country and Track & Field events as well as participating in swimming lessons with TJ’s Swim at the Concordia Aquatic Centre.

Different units focus on developing the skills for students to play modified games of AFL, badminton, basketball, cricket, hockey, golf, netball, orienteering, OzTag, soccer, softball, teeball, tennis, touch football and volleyball.

Students learn gymnastic movements, including static supports, balancing, rotating, jumping, landing and locomotion and also develop circus, fitness and skipping skills.

The Year 5 and 6 students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports through the Friday Sport program.
