Sport plays a significant part of both the physical and social development of all students. At Our Lady Help of Christians School, there are many opportunities for the students to develop the fundamental skills that help with a wide variety of sports and games. Students through years Prep-6 are involved in weekly Physical Education lessons. These lessons usually focus on fundamental movement skills as listed by the Australian Curriculum.

P-2 participate in an Athletics Carnival, Cross Country Carnival and Under 8s Day. Students also participate in gross motor skills and development through our Perceptual Motor Program. Students also participate in specialist lessons throughout the year.
Year 3 – 6 Sport
