Physical Education and Health

At St John's we offer our students a rich and engaging Physical Education Program. We develop their knowledge, understanding and skills to strengthen their sense of self, to make healthy choices and take actions to promote their own safety, health and physical activity participation. 

Central to Health and Physical Education is the acquisition of movement skills, concepts and strategies to enable our students to confidently, competently and creatively participate in a range of physical activities, games and sports.

We foster an enjoyment of physical education to ensure lifelong participation in recreational activity. Students develop proficiency in movement skills and concepts, to acquire an understanding of how their body moves, to develop an appreciation of the significance of physical activity, outdoor recreation and sport, throughout their lives.

• 2 weekly dedicated Physical Education lessons
• Fundamental Motor Skills Program
• Whole School Twilight Sports Carnival
• Swimming and Water Safety Program
• Variety of sports grounds, play spaces and facilities
