SPORT EDUCATION

McClelland College approach to sport is unique. At the junior levels Physical Education learning is linked to a particular sport that the school participates in at the interschool sport level.

This means the students train and learn about the sport with their coaches. This ensures maximum sporting participation and learning.

A full range of winter and summer sports are offered along with athletics, cross country and swimming.

This learning is extended in the sports academy where students can follow a pathway through to the senior years in sporting areas.

For further information please consult the year level links to understand how PE is undertaken within the curriculum structure of a specific year level.
