Physical Education
Physical Education (PE) is a specialist subject for all students at Allenby Gardens Primary School and our program allocates 1 lesson per week (50 minutes per lesson) with our specialist teacher, Emma Willacy.
At the core of these lessons is the acquisition of fundamental movement skills and concepts to enable students to participate in a range of physical activities – confidently, competently and creatively.
Students acquire an understanding of how the body moves and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity participation.
Movement is a powerful medium for learning, through which students can practise and refine personal, behavioural, social and cognitive skills. At Allenby Gardens our PE program is designed to be contemporary, relevant, challenging and physically active.

AFTER SCHOOL SPORT
Allenby Gardens Primary School seeks to maximise opportunities for regular participation in activities for the physical wellbeing of students and to encourage their participation in regular, age appropriate, sporting competition to enhance their development through practice, teamwork and leadership.
The school supports After Hours sporting activities throughout the year to assist in achieving the above objective. We hope that for students, being part of a school sporting team will:
- Assist them in maintaining physical fitness and gaining a healthy attitude towards an active way of life;
- Provide them with the opportunity to increase their levels of performance of skills learned;
- Instil a sense of commitment – to the team, to practice and to the coach;
- Encourage the demonstration of good leadership and fair play;
- Generate an appreciation of the benefits of practice; and
- Reinforce the virtues of teamwork.
Registering your child does not automatically guarantee a position in a team.
Parent volunteers are required to coach and manage teams. If there is no parent volunteer, we cannot nominate the team.
There has also been circumstances where there were not enough registrations, resulting in being unable to fill and register a team.
