Physical Education

Physical Education plays an important role in supporting children’s health and wellbeing. Through engaging and inclusive lessons, students develop movement skills, build confidence, and learn the value of being active. These experiences encourage positive attitudes towards physical activity and help students develop healthy habits for life.

Students have timetabled classes of P.E. for one hour per week. The school's Physical Education curriculum is designed to develop students’ fundamental motor skills in the early years (P-2) and progress these skills into sports-specific skills in Years 3-6.

Students have the opportunity to participate in whole-school events, including Mini Olympics for Prep-2 students, and whole-school cross country and Years 3-6 athletics events. Students can also participate in selection trials, with pathways available to progress from school level through District and Division competition, and then on to Western Metropolitan and State representation. Students are encouraged to participate in sports outside of school.

Lara Primary School is proud to have the use of a full-sized indoor basketball court, an outdoor basketball court, and a large, well-maintained oval.
