Sport, Health and Physical Education and Outdoor Education
Our programs caters to all age groups and abilities in a supportive and positive environment to encourage physical activity participation and enjoyment across all year levels and abilities
Prep-Year 6
Our primary focus is on participation which builds students’ self-esteem and confidence in addition to improving student’s physical and social skills.
Our Sports program for Students in Prep to Year 6 is aimed at increasing students’ fundamental motor development skills through the experience of various modified games. In the later years, we focus on increasing students’ knowledge, understanding and skill level in various modified games. These programs also assist the development of students’ interpersonal, communication and cooperation skills as well as encourage sportsmanship.
In addition to these sporting programs we run:
- Beach Skills and Surf Safety lessons
- Swimming lessons
- Bike Education and Cycle Skills (Year 3 to 5)
Sport
Students in Years 7 to 10 participate in a weekly dedicated sports afternoon designed to encourage participation and the opportunity to develop skills in various different activities.
Health and Physical Education Program
Students in Years 7 to 10 participate in one forty-five minute theory lesson and one ninety-minute practical lesson per week. All theoretical components co-relate to practical lessons.

Co-curricular Program
CCPS offers an extensive co-curricular program. Program offerings vary throughout the year and all activities are available to students in the Junior and Senior Schools. These activities are designed to complement inter-school sport, health and physical education programs to further develop their skills.
Outdoor Education
At Caloundra City, Private School students are given the opportunity to learn valuable life skills, outside of the classroom. Outdoor education forms a core part of our wellbeing program for students. Camps, activities and expeditions are designed to challenge students mentally and physically and to disconnect from devices and the hustle and bustle of day to day life. Students detox from all social pressures and reconnect with their thoughts and feelings in an unpredictable environment that can be testing and challenging.
