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

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. |
|
Community Links |
Organising local venues to enhance the program ie. Parks,
pool, ice-skating. |
|
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. |
|
Resources |
Requisition of equipment (after inventory was taken). |
|
Assessment Strategies |
Adapted strategies from other key learning areas and introduced some of our own with assistance from outside agencies. eg. DET, Wollongong University. |
