At St Agatha's we encourage all students to develop a passion for all aspects of health, physical education and sports. 

Health and Physical Education 

The Prep to Year 6 Health and Physical Education is taught in two aspects. The health component is taught by the general classroom teacher and includes personal, social and community health. While a specialist teacher conducts the Physical Movement strand through weekly hour long lessons.

Examples of Physical Movement learning includes:

• Prep students learning and developing fundamental movement skills with technique and in a safe manner.  
• Year 1 students learning tagging and dodging games which incorporate fundamental movement skills and solve movement challenges.  
  
• ​Year 2 students learning complex tagging games that incorporate fundamental movement skills as well as  a specific focus on the skills to play soccer. 
• Year 3 students will refine and perform movement sequences using the fundamental movement skill of striking and solve movement challenges through gameplay and modified activities including tennis. 
• Year 4 students will focus on developing Fundamental Movement Skills invasion games. They will transfer these skills across to sports including netball .  
• Year 5 students will focus on refine movement sequences using the fundamental movement skill of striking and solve movement challenges through badminton. 
• Year 6 students will focus on combining skills of balance, core strength and coordination. They will further learn rotation, locomotion, spring and landing, swing, static poses and composition to perform a variety of movement sequences for gymnastic sports.
