Health & Physical Education

Our dynamic Health & Physical Education Faculty offers a diverse range of programs for students passionate about health, wellbeing, sport, and the outdoors.

Padua College

During Years 7-9, students are supported to develop their physical capabilities and confidence through a series of programs including aquatic safety, orienteering, gymnastics, surfing, cycling and sports, including a fun 'Tough Mudder' onsite course. 

High Performance Sport takes students inside the elite sporting environment, focusing on training, performance analysis, and what it takes to succeed at the top level. 

For those interested in the science behind movement and performance, Sport & Exercise Science blends theory and practical investigation to uncover how the body works, adapts, and thrives in sport. 

Outdoor Education & Environmental Studies immerses students in the natural world, developing practical outdoor skills while deepening understanding of sustainability and the human connection to the environment. 

Together, these subjects inspire growth, resilience and lifelong healthy habits, and open pathways to exciting careers in health, sport, science, and the environment.

Outdoor Education has taught me so much about myself as well as the place we are all so lucky to call home. This subject has shown me just how precious this world is and I am happy to say that I will walk away with a greater appreciation for the environment and a passion to protect it.
