Physical Education

Year 9

The programme is designed to allow students to further develop skills they already possess and provide opportunities to experience new activities. Students will continue developing ways of applying tactics and strategies to a game, including the use of space in attack and defence. By playing a variety of team sports, students will focus on how to work effectively as a team. They will also have opportunities to develop leadership and are encouraged to display a high level of sportsmanship to their peers.

Year 9 students will also participate in all Inter-house Carnivals: Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country and Surfing. High achievers in these competitions will be selected to represent our college at ACC and Champion Schools level. In the lead up to these competitions, the Physical Education Department provides training sessions which are open to all students.

There are a variety of Inter-house events (Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country, Surfing and lunchtime competitions) that Year 9 students have the opportunity to participate in.  All Inter-house events contribute towards a Champion Inter-house Sporting award.

Coastal Associated Schools (CAS) Summer Winter ‘after school’ sporting competition for Year 9 students includes volleyball, basketball, cricket and touch in Term 1 plus soccer, netball and AFL in Term 2.  Teams that are successful in CAS competitions may progress on to the School Sport WA Champion Schools competition.
