Physical Education

Physical Education is a key component of the curriculum at Lollypop Creek Primary School.  Offering a complete and well-rounded Physical Education program from Foundation to Grade 6, students participate in an environment that is fun, engaging and safe. 

From Foundation to Grade 2, the focus of our program is to equip our students with the basic Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) that can be used across a broad range of sports. FMS skills such as:

• Throwing

• Catching

• Kicking

• Ball Bounce

• Jumping, Leaping and Dodging

• Forehand and Two-handed Strike

From Grade 3 to Grade 6, the emphasis of our program shifts towards the application of these FMS in different sports/game settings. This application allows the students to work on their ‘game sense’ and strategies in a wide range of sports/games.  Students participate in four basic game types:

• Invasion games e.g. Basketball, Netball, Soccer & AFL

• Striking & Fielding games e.g. Cricket, T-ball & Softball

• Net/Wall games e.g. Tennis & Volleyball

• Target games e.g. Bocce, Carpet Bowls & Golf

Lollypop Creek Primary School is proud to have the use a state of art stadium (including a full-sized indoor basketball court), two outdoor basketball courts as well as a large and well-maintained sporting field.

We stock a large quantity and variety of sports equipment and involve our students in a wide range of events.  These include:

• Community Sports Clinics

• Lighting Premierships (Winter and Summer)

• District, Division, Region and State sporting events

• Cross Country

• Athletics

• Swimming

During all of our Physical Education sessions and sporting events, the importance of cooperation, inclusion, and fair play is a focus for all Lollypop Creek Primary School students.
