Sports and Health Education at Wilson Primary School
At Wilson Primary School, we are committed to promoting active, healthy lifestyles through a comprehensive Health and Physical Education program aligned with the Western Australian Curriculum. Our approach ensures students develop essential skills in movement, teamwork, and decision-making, while gaining knowledge to make safe and healthy choices.
Health Education covers a wide range of topics, including protective behaviours, nutrition, personal safety, and emotional wellbeing. These lessons empower students to build resilience and develop strategies for maintaining health throughout their lives.
Physical Education (PE) provides opportunities for students to participate in structured skill development and competitive sports. Our program is strengthened through a partnership with SEDA, whose specialist coaches run regular sports sessions, introducing students to a variety of games and fitness activities.
We also have strong links with the Woodloes Association, supporting community engagement through sport. Students in Years 5 and 6 represent Wilson Primary School in Summer and Winter Lightning Carnivals, as well as Interschool Athletics and Cross Country events. Within the school, our annual Faction Athletics Carnival in Term 3 is a highlight, where students proudly compete for their totemic group, fostering teamwork and school spirit.
Supporting Student Growth
Our Sports and Health programs promote physical fitness, social skills, and emotional wellbeing. They support the General Capabilities in the SCSA curriculum by developing:
- Personal and Social Capability – Building resilience, teamwork, and leadership through sport.
- Critical and Creative Thinking – Encouraging problem-solving and strategic thinking in games and health contexts.
- Ethical Understanding – Teaching respect, fairness, and responsibility in competitive and cooperative settings.
Through these experiences, students grow as confident, active individuals who value health and physical activity as part of a balanced lifestyle.
