We have a purpose in everything we do, whilst our teachers facilitate student-centred lessons where we have a focus on supporting our students to learn and develop the skills that will prepare them for the 21st century.

All students participate in fifty minute sessions of that are facilitated by our outstanding P.E. team at Mount View Primary School. The Physical Education teams number one focus is for the students to develop a love for movement so they gain the confidence, knowledge, competence and behaviours to move for the rest of their lives. We cater for all needs, differentiate our lessons and challenge the students to progress in their education. The program allows students to grow across the physical, social, emotional and cognitive domains. We also have transdisciplinary focus where we integrate other learning areas into P.E. An example is where the students build structures out of recycled materials with an engineering connection whilst focusing on the fundamental movement skill of overarm throw to knock down their targets. With a focus fundamental movement skills and game sense our lessons are fun!
