Physical Education

At Mackellar Primary School, students attend P.E. with a willingness to participate and learn new skills. They are confident, motivated and work in teams with drive and focus to succeed. 

In Term One, the students looked at the following areas of the Victorian Curriculum:

Prep – Fundamental Motor Skills through active play and minor games

Grade 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6  – Athletics: Students learnt the skills to perform the following athletic events; high jump, long jump, shot-put, discus, standing start and crouch start for running. Students learnt these skills in preparation for their athletics day in Term 2. 

In Term One, we also had two whole school events, KABOOM and the Colour Run. Both events had a focus on physical activity, team work and leadership. Students were outstanding in both events and really displayed our Mackellar values. It was great to see our school coming together as a community to have some fun through physical activity!
