Introduction/Index


SCHOOL DESCRIPTION
Campsie Public School
is situated in a highly built up area and consists of three main buildings.  It has two ashphalt playing areas (each the approximate size of a netball court), as well as a hall.

The current enrolment is 645 consisting of 354 boys and 291 girls.  The school has 98.14% NESB.  Of these 31.9% are of Chinese descent.  The school has 23 classes consisting of 20 mixed ability, 2 multi age classes and one class for students with mild intellectual disability.

Following consultation with the staff and due to the poor physical demographics (ie flats), cultural bias and a total lack of regard for physical activities outside school the RRF allocation for each classes two hours per week has been utilised in increase student physical activity.

WEEKLY PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES
** This Physical Education program rotates weekly and is repeated each term.  The components of each skill have been progressively sequenced, allowing for different stages of development.

RESOURCES
A grant from the School Sport Foundation was used to provide casual relief for both RFF teachers to develop a sequential Whole School Physical Activity plan.  New resources were purchased as finances became available.  A resource portfolio was developed for each staff member which included skills / games / activities for each sport as well as a copy of the sequenced PD/H/PE program.  Sport monitors are trained to distribute equipment.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Good parental involvement.  Association development officers are active at the school.  These include NSW Netball, NSW Cricket, Gymnastics NSW, Canterbury Bankstown RLC , and the Sydney Kings Basketball (Hoopsters).

OTHER SPORTING OPPORTUNITIES
Physical activity is not confined to structured lessons but incorporates lunchtime games and competitions and after school activities.  Ball Presentation to Year 3 students by Canterbury Bankstown players who talk about fitness, good sportsmanship, diet and exercise.  Development Officers from the Sydney Kings, NSW Cricket Association and NSW Netball conduct regular skills and follow up lessons.

REASONS FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM
The programs success hinges on the fact that the whole staff were involved in selecting the issue as a vital school initiative with a number of members of staff having the expertise to develop and plan the program whilst giving ownership to the total staff.

The challenges and remedies to ensure success of the program were as follows –

CHALLENGE

REMEDY

Restricted Space

Modifying the program.
Implementing a school timetable for coordinating the use of facilities, playground space and equipment.

Community Links

Organising local venues to enhance the program ie. Parks, pool, ice-skating.
Calling on outside contacts such as parents, coaches, professional sporting bodies to enhance the program.

School Uniform

With assistance from SRC, the girls uniform was changed from a dress uniform to shorts and a polo shirt.

Physical demand on one teacher implementing physical activity program outside the classroom

Implementation of two RFF teachers equally sharing all areas of the PDHPE program.
K-6 scope and sequence.

Resources

Requisition of equipment (after inventory was taken).
Student monitors to distribute equipment to other PE/Sport lessons.

Assessment Strategies

Adapted strategies from other key learning areas and introduced some of our own with assistance from outside agencies.  eg. DET, Wollongong University.
