Participation in Physical Education and sport is an important part of the educational journey at CSPS. We provide opportunity for all students to participate in a variety of sports and experiences. These experiences are not only celebrated but also considered essential to the overall growth of our students.
The physical education program at CSPS is responsible for helping students learn the value of Physical Literacy. Physical Literacy gives you physical skills and fitness, the attitudes and emotions that motivate you to be active, the knowledge and understanding of how, why and when you move and the social skills to be active with others. There is a whole school approach to Physical Literacy at CSPS with programs such as Bike Education, Jump Rope for Heart and Walkathon, promoting all the positive aspects of being active outside a competitive sporting environment.
Foundation - Year 2 students begin their learning with a focus on Fundamental Movement Skills and participation in our Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). Students from Year 3 - 6 enjoy a thematic curriculum with a focus on developing game sense, refining fundamental movement skills and learning sport specific skills.
At a whole school level we run Cross Country, Athletics, Swimming and House Sports events every year. Year 6 students participate in Interschool Sport during Term 1 and 2 competing against schools in our district area. This provides opportunity for all students to participate and be involved in our strong sporting school spirit. Beyond whole school events, we train and compete in more competitive settings, which allows us to accommodate and grow those students who enjoy competing at a higher level.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports at not only a school level but a District, Divisional, Regional and State level. We have a proud sporting record and we continue to be one of the highest achieving schools in the District. Some of the sports we offer in school and out of school at CSPS are Basketball, Soccer, Netball, Softball, Football, Tennis, Cricket, Hockey, Lacrosse, Volleyball, Swimming, Athletics, Cross Country, Lawn Bowls and Table Tennis.
