Physical Education
Inter-School Sport
At Streeton Primary School, students in Years 5 & 6 have the exciting opportunity to participate in the Watsonia District Inter-school Sport competition each Friday. This competition not only allows students to represent the school but also helps them develop essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and perseverance. Through their involvement in a range of sports, students can deepen their knowledge of game strategies, refine their physical skills, and gain confidence in a competitive yet supportive environment.
Summer Sport, held in Term One, offers students the chance to compete in a variety of outdoor sports including Cricket, Bat Tennis, Basketball, and Rounders. These sports provide students with the opportunity to develop coordination, communication, and collaboration, while enjoying the friendly competition against other schools in the district.
Winter Sport, conducted in Term Two, focuses on sports such as AFL, Soccer, Netball, and Softball. Students participate in these more physically demanding sports, working together as a team to sharpen their fitness, resilience, and tactical awareness.
At Streeton Primary, we are proud to maintain an inclusive approach to our Interschool Sports Program. Regardless of ability level, we ensure that every student is given the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow through sport. Whether students are highly skilled athletes or just beginning to explore their sporting interests, we prioritise creating a supportive and encouraging environment that promotes physical health, sportsmanship, and personal development for all students.
PE Program
At Streeton Primary School, our Physical Education Program inspires students to be active, confident and resilient while developing the skills and understanding needed for a lifelong enjoyment of movement and sport. Through engaging, inclusive experiences, students build fundamental motor skills, physical fitness, teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship across a wide range of activities.
Students develop essential movement skills including running, jumping, balancing, throwing, catching, kicking, striking, bouncing and coordination. These fundamental motor skills are practised through movement challenges, obstacle courses, skill rotations, cooperative games and modified sports, helping students build confidence and transfer their skills into different physical activity settings.
Throughout the year, students explore a variety of summer and winter sports, including basketball, volleyball, tennis, netball, hockey and soccer. Specialist clinics provide opportunities to learn from experienced coaches, refine sport-specific techniques and develop an understanding of rules, strategies and teamwork. Students also participate in the Jump Rope for Heart program, developing skipping skills while promoting physical activity, perseverance and healthy lifestyle choices.
Fitness is an important part of our program, with students participating in running activities, fitness circuits, warm-ups, cool-downs and activities that develop cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and agility. Students are encouraged to set personal goals, challenge themselves and celebrate their progress.
Creative movement is also embraced through experiences such as our Hip Hop Dance curriculum incursion, where students develop rhythm, coordination, sequencing and confidence through expressive movement.
Across every lesson, students learn to communicate, cooperate, solve problems and demonstrate resilience and respect. Our PE Program encourages every student to participate safely, challenge themselves and discover the enjoyment that comes from being active, capable and part of a team.
Swimming Lessons
Our swimming lessons are designed to teach students important water safety skills, improve their swimming abilities, and build confidence in the pool. Catering to all skill levels, these lessons ensure that every child can progress at their own pace while developing essential life skills in the water.

Students participate in a variety of track and field events, encouraging healthy competition, teamwork, and personal achievement. These days offer an opportunity for students to build resilience, showcase their talents, and enjoy being part of a supportive, active community.
