Physical Education

At St Thomas School and Preschool we have a strong focus on physical education and sports, where we develop and celebrate the diverse skills and talents of all our students. At our school, we believe that participation in sports is essential for the holistic development of every child, promoting physical fitness, teamwork, and a lifelong love of active living.

Our sporting program is designed to align with the Australian Curriculum, ensuring that our students receive a comprehensive and well-rounded physical education. We offer a wide variety of sports and specialist lessons that cater to different interests and abilities, encouraging every student to find their passion and excel in their chosen activities.

Our curriculum covers a broad spectrum of sports, including traditional team sports such as soccer, basketball, cricket, and netball, as well as individual pursuits like athletics, gymnastics, and tennis. Each sport is taught by experienced coaches and teachers who are dedicated to providing high-quality instruction and fostering a positive and inclusive environment.

In addition to skill development, our program emphasizes the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play. We encourage students to work together, support one another, and celebrate each other's achievements, both on and off the field. Through regular practice sessions, interschool competitions, and sports days, our students have numerous opportunities to showcase their abilities and experience the thrill of sporting success.

Specialist lessons form a core part of our program, allowing students to delve deeper into specific sports and refine their techniques under expert guidance. These lessons are tailored to meet the needs of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced athletes, ensuring that every student can progress and achieve their personal best.

We are proud to offer a sporting program that not only focuses on physical fitness but also promotes the development of essential life skills such as leadership, resilience, and goal-setting. By participating in a variety of sports, our students learn the value of dedication, perseverance, and hard work, preparing them for future challenges both in sports and in life.
