Bellbrae Primary takes pride in providing all students with weekly Physical Education and specialised Sport sessions. We have a wide range of sporting facilities including an undercover basketball/netball court, a newly resurfaced oval and a brand new full size stadium. This allows us to provide our students with a wide range of physical activities in all weather conditions.
Our Physical Education and Sport Program encompasses fitness, skills, movement, gymnastics, games, aquatics, recreation and sport. It also aims to promote the enjoyment of physical activity by providing interesting and motivating activities while improving the student’s knowledge, skills and behaviours.
Our whole school events include the following:
- Athletics
- Swimming
- Cross Country
City to Surf Lightning Premiership
Our school is part of the City to Surf District, in which we compete in a wide range of Summer and Winter sports in interschool competitions. Our 5/6 students select a sport of their choice, train in their designated sport time and then compete within the City to Surf District. Successful teams have the opportunity to compete in the Regional and State Finals.
Bluearth Program
Our school has been part of the Bluearth program for close to a decade. Both students and classroom teachers participate in weekly sessions with our Bluearth coach Mitch Barrow.
According to their website:
Bluearth takes an approach to active living that goes beyond traditional sport and education models.
We care less about competition, and more about positive participation experiences that develop skills and motivation to embed lifelong healthy habits for Aussie kids to play, jump, run and generally be more active.
Bellbrae Ski Team
Each winter we send a Bellbrae ski team to compete in the Victorian Interschool Ski Championship at Mt Buller. This year we are sending a team of over 20 competitors. Students compete in a range of events such as Alpine Giant Slalom, Snowboard Giant Slalom, Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross and Moguls.
