At Baringa School, Health and Physical Education supports students to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to make healthy, safe and active choices that enhance their health and wellbeing. Through a diverse range of movement experiences, students develop and refine fundamental movement skills, build confidence and discover the benefits of regular physical activity.

Our Physical Education program provides opportunities for students to learn through movement in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. As students progress through the school, they build on their skills and understanding, developing greater coordination, control and confidence. They learn to apply movement skills individually, with others and as part of a team, while combining movements to create more complex patterns and sequences.

Students are encouraged to participate in activities that reflect their individual abilities, needs and interests. Through active play, structured movement activities, games, sports and a range of physical experiences, students develop an understanding of movement, body mechanics, teamwork and the importance of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.

At Baringa School, Physical Education aims to foster lifelong positive attitudes towards movement and physical activity, supporting every student to participate, achieve and enjoy being active.
