Movement and Physical Activity
All children are encouraged to participate in sporting activities while at school. Years Prep to 6 undertake structured physical education programs that promote coordination, fitness, individual and team skills and formal games. Our specialist Sport teacher works with each class weekly.
Swimming lessons are conducted as part of the Health and Physical Education program at the Maryborough Aquatic Centre. Availability of pool time determines which classes attend lessons. The purpose of school swimming lessons is for water safety and water confidence. For this reason, it is necessary that all children attend swimming lessons unless prevented due to a medical condition.
Our children have the opportunity to compete at intra and inter school sport activities. Children are placed in four sports houses and remain in those houses during their time at St Mary's.
Personal, Social and Community Health
The Health component of the curriculum helps students discover how to look after themselves and others, make smart and safe choices, get along with people, and learn about their identities as they grow and change.
