Throughout the school year we conduct several inter house sporting carnivals. These carnivals provide a culminating activity
where students get the opportunity to apply skills learned through
Physical Education (PE) lessons whilst encouraging participation and a
sense of team spirit and pride. Carnivals are as follows:
- Term 1 - Cross country
- Term 2 - Athletics
- Term 4 - Swimming
Physical
Education and sport are an integral part of life at Fairview Heights
State School. The PE Program is aligned with the Australian National
Curriculum. Each class receives at least 1 PE
lesson per week. Physical Education
lessons for prep to year 3 are focused on skill development such as rolling, throwing, kicking, skipping and gross motor whilst upper
grade lessons focus on application of these skills through a wide
variety of major games such as hockey, soccer, volleyball, cricket, basketball, archery and netball.
Sport
As well as PE lessons we have an extensive sport program here at
Fairview. Year 5 and 6 students
participate in Interschool sport where they travel to various locations
around Toowoomba and compete against other schools. Sports involved
include: Volleyball, hockey, soccer, touch football, rugby league,
hockey, netball, cricket and AFL.
Regional Development officers
To further strengthen opportunities and learning through PE at
Fairview Heights State School we have a number of Development officers
visit throughout the year. These officers represent sports such as
hockey, golf, soccer, AFL, rugby league, touch, basketball and cricket. This
has proven to provide valuable learning opportunities and strong
links/pathways to local sporting clubs for weekend sport.
