Physical Education is offered from Foundation to Year Six once a week. Within each class a range of fundamental motor skills are taught, along with exposure to many sports; football, basketball, soccer, netball, tee ball, la crosse, cricket, tennis, hockey, athletics.
 
Opportunities are also provided throughout the term for students to attend the Stawell Leisure Centre to make the most of their facilities. St Patrick’s supports the Heart Foundation by participating in Jump Rope for Heart in conjunction with learning skipping skills within sport lessons. During each year all students are provided with water safety skills, with Grade 3-6 participating in the Swimming Carnival. There is an annual Athletics Sports Day throughout the year held at North Park. Students are also given opportunities to compete at a zone level in athletics and cross country.

We help our students attain the necessary movement skills, concepts and strategies to be able to participate confidently in a range of physical activities
