At Wallarano we are committed to fostering active, healthy, and resilient lifelong learners. Our Physical Education program is fully aligned with Victorian Curriculum 2.0, designed to develop students’ movement skills, health literacy, emotional wellbeing, and passion for physical activity.
Our curriculum is built around two interconnected strands:
- Personal, Social and Community Health: Empowering students with the knowledge and strategies to make informed decisions about their health, wellbeing, identity, and relationships.
- Movement and Physical Activity: Developing fundamental movement skills, tactical awareness, teamwork, and confidence through a diverse range of sports, games, and physical challenges.
Other Core Features of Our PE Program
- Dedicated Weekly PE & Health Lessons: All students engage in explicit, sequential learning sessions focused on physical literacy, movement confidence, personal health, and social-emotional development.
- Weekly House Sports Sessions: In addition to timetabled PE classes, students participate in weekly House Sports sessions. These sessions promote friendly competition, school pride, cooperation, leadership, and active participation in a supportive environment.
- Yearly Swimming & Water Safety Program: Water safety is a vital life skill. Every year, our students participate in an intensive swimming and water safety program that builds swimming technique, survival skills, and confidence in and around aquatic environments.
- Inter-School Sport (School Sport Victoria): Senior students have the opportunity to represent Wallarano in competitive inter-school sporting competitions through School Sport Victoria (SSV), testing their skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork against neighbouring schools.
- Connecting School to Community Sport: We actively build pathways with local sporting clubs and community organisations. By introducing students to local sports and community coaches during school programs, we help smooth the transition for students to join local clubs and maintain active, healthy lifestyles outside of school.
