Movement Skill and Performance
According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.
PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.
Clovelly provides a range of sporting programs for our students. Including:
School Sport:
All classes provide a PE program that focuses on developing fundamental movement skills. Students develop confidence and competence to engage in physical activity. They develop an understanding of movement concepts and the features of movement composition as they engage in a variety of planned and improvised movement experiences. Students create and compose movement to achieve specific purposes and performance goals. Through movement experiences students also develop self-management and interpersonal skills to support them to strive for enhanced performance and participation in a lifetime of physical activity.
Carnivals
Clovelly Public hosts swimming, athletics and cross-country carnivals each year.
Students are encouraged to become involved at a level with which they feel comfortable, and to extend this involvement to realise the potential harboured within each individual. Those children who exhibit particular talents in sport have access to representative sports at a number of levels, from school through to national.
PSSA
PSSA is the interschool sporting competition that provide opportunities for primary students to participate in competitive sport. Students in Year 3-6 can tryout for a team and if successful will represent the school every Friday in the Eastern Sydney PSSA competition.
