Health and Physical Education

Lisa Costello - Domain Leader

This year has seen many new and exciting initiatives implemented across the Health and Physical Education (HPE) Domain.

HPE Week focused on the importance of nutrition and incorporating physical activity into our daily lives. Many took up the opportunity to be involved in activities including boxing, yoga, dance, obstacle courses, and creating a nutritious trail mix. The competitive student versus staff volleyball match was also a highlight.

Years 7 and 8 competed in basketball and netball tournaments, with their skills and match tactics put to the test, while Year 9s participated in a self-defence unit, undertook drug education, and learnt strategies to maintain their mental health.

Competitive sport students took on the challenging role of coach and mentor, as they conducted tournaments in a variety of sports.

Outdoor Education students explored Victorian landscapes in the Otways and Wilsons Promontory while becoming familiar with sustainability practices in specific outdoor environments and the impact of humans.

To complement the Year 12 Physical Education program, students viewed a VO2 max lab test and took part in an interactive Biomechanics lab, that illustrated principles to improve performance.

A massive thank you to the fabulous HPE team for all their energy and expertise throughout the year.
