At our school, we place great importance on physical fitness and sporting achievements as essential aspects of student learning and growth. Your child can engage in a variety of sports, ranging from recreational activities and local competitions to elite state-level representation. Our sporting culture is built on the principles of fair play, commitment, teamwork, and perseverance.
Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PDHPE)
Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PDHPE) contributes to the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of students by providing an experiential curriculum that is contemporary, relevant, challenging and physically active.
Through the study of PDHPE, our programs are contextualised to reflect the diverse needs of students within the school and the learning experiences provide students with the foundations to lead and promote healthy, safe and active lives.
Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) is an elective subject for students in Years 9 and 10. In PASS, students deepen their understanding of physical activity, develop movement skills, analyse movement performance, leadership opportunities and marketable skills in organisation.
Community and Family Studies (CAFS) provides students with the opportunity to develop their understanding of the diverse nature and interdependence of families and communities within Australian society. It helps students to plan and manage resources effectively in order to address contemporary issues facing families and communities.
Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation (SLR) enables students to further develop their understanding of and competence in a range of sport and recreational pursuits. They are encouraged to establish a lifelong commitment to being physically active and to achieving movement potential.
Elite Representation
Your child will be able to participate in NSW Combined High Schools (CHS) program across a range of individual and team sports. Every year, we have strong representation at Sydney East and CHS carnivals, with students receiving Sporting Blues in their respective fields. This elite competition provides an avenue for talented sports students to refine their skills, compete at the highest level, and achieve individual success.
