Health and Physical Education

The Health and Physical Education at Wattle Glen PS focuses on the health, safety, wellbeing and physical activity of each of our students through their involvement in diverse and engaging programs.

At Wattle Glen PS students participate in weekly sports lessons that is developed to equip the students with the fundamental gross and fine motor skills that can then be used in more specific sports to master their skills.  Our programs offer our students with challenges through enjoyable physical activities that build their physical and mental health, as well as developing their co-operation and teambuilding skills.
