Sport

Physical Education

The Physical Education Program includes skill lessons in games and sport skills, gymnastics, athletics and dance. The boys are provided with a balanced physical education program which emphasises the following areas:

• Motor skills and individual fitness

• Self-esteem, well-being and social responsibility

• The ability to make informed health and lifestyle decisions

• The development of positive relationships and teamwork. Sphairee (mini-tennis), hockey, badminton, tennis, swimming and sailing are also part of the program. Mosman Prep recognises that sport is an essential component of school life.

Personal Development And Health

Personal Development and Health (PDH) lessons are taught by the PE teachers in all the five Key Learning Areas. PDH reflects on the dynamic nature of health, safety and wellbeing in what is a diverse and constantly changing society. Boys are provided with the opportunities to challenge assumptions, attitudes and behaviours whilst evaluating health related topics for the benefit of themselves.

We encourage our boys to appreciate and replicate the influences on personal health attitudes which in turn allow them to lead and promote healthy, safe and active lives.
