Sport    

Chapel Hill State School has a strong sport program which we regard as a great asset to all of the students.

Physical Education
All students from preschool to year 7 receive regular weekly physical education lessons that aim to improve gross and fine motor skills, dance co-ordination and ball handling. These lessons are conducted by our specialist physical education teacher, Mr. Andrew Parry

Interschool Sport

The School is heavily involved in Friday afternoon sport. During the Winter season the school competes in Netball, Tennis and Touch Football for the girls and Aussie Rules for the boys. Softball and baseball make up the sports for the Summer Season for the girls and boys of Year 6 and 7. Teamwork and co-operation are the main skills we encourage with our students in our interschool sport program. All upper school children are encouraged to become involved in these program. Many of our children go on to represent our West Akuna District, Metropolitan West Region and some have even gone as far as representing Queensland in their chosen sport.

The children of Year 4 and Year 5 develop their skills through a program that promotes variety. Sports such as Hockey, Netball, Aussie Rules, Badminton, Volleyball, Cricket, Rugby League, Ten Pin Bowling are just a few of the sports that the children undertake to develop their co-ordination skills

Students in Year 6 and 7 are eligible to nominate to represent the school in interschool sport. We encourage the participation of all students as interschool sport presents a perfect opportunity for them to learn how to be an effective member of a team and to develop social and communication skills, self confidence and physical skills.

Teams are encouraged to "do their best" as opposed to "winning at all costs". This is part of the school's focus on 'improvement' rather than 'being the best'. All students are asked to celebrate their participation no matter what the outcome so long as they have given their best. Children enjoy a range of sports played at our school and include Australian Rules, Touch Football, Netball, Softball, Baseball and Cricket. School teams develop a keen team spirit and many are successful in district competitions.

We encourage the participation of all our Year 6 and 7 students . Programs for children in earlier year levels focus on developing the skills necessary to participate in interschool sport when they reach Year 6 - 7


 

Perceptual Motor Program
Year 1 students receive additional physical education lessons aimed specifically at developing perceptual motor skills. The development of perceptual motor skills by students in this age group is a continuance of the Physical Education Program and assists in the development of reading and spatial knowledge as well as physical coordination.

The program aims to further develop children's self esteem and self-confidence thus encouraging them to undertake recreational activities in the future.
