At Warranwood Primary School, our Health & Physical Education program enhances the health, safety, wellbeing and participation in physical activity of every student.

 

We aim to develop confident, capable and active learners who understand the importance of making healthy, safe and positive choices for themselves and others.

 

Fundamental Motor Skills (Prep–6)

All students from Prep to Year 6 participate in a weekly 60-minute specialist Physical Education session.

 

From Year 1 students also engage in an additional 60 minutes of physical activity, strengthening skill development and movement confidence.

 

Across all year levels, there is a strong emphasis on Fundamental Motor Skill (FMS) Development, including:

 

• Throwing

• Catching

• Kicking

• Dodging

• Leaping

• Jumping

• Striking

• Running

• Ball bounce

These skills are introduced and developed in a sequential manner and are progressively applied within minor and major games.

 

RUIn Values in Action

A key focus of all Health & Physical Education sessions is the active modelling of our school values of:

 

Respect – Understanding – Integrity

 

Through games and physical challenges, students learn to:

• Demonstrate fair play

• Show respect to teammates and opponents

• Display resilience

• Be gracious in both winning and losing

• Celebrate effort and achievement

These experiences help students build character, teamwork skills and positive sporting behaviours.

 

Health Education

To complement physical skill development, students also build knowledge and understanding to support their overall wellbeing.

 

Learning focuses on:

• Making healthy choices

• Personal and community safety

• Developing positive relationships

• Understanding physical, emotional and social wellbeing

Students are supported to make informed decisions that enhance both their own and others’ wellbeing.

 

House Sports Carnivals

Students from Prep to Year 6 participate in our annual House Swimming (3-6), Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals, where points are earned for each student’s respective House Team. These events build school spirit, strengthen connection and foster a strong sense of belonging across year levels. Families are warmly invited to attend and support our students as they strive to achieve their personal best. For students in Years 3–6, these carnivals also provide opportunities to progress beyond the school level, with pathways to District, Division and potentially State competition, offering extension and excellence in sport.

Cross Country Carnival
