Sport at Ararat North Primary School

Physical activity and sport are an important part of our curriculum. A teacher is appointed annually to co-ordinate this area.

Athletic Sports

Each year our school participates in the Mininera and district School Sports. Children compete for their school and also for their school's house teams. The sports cover a variety of athletic events such as sprints, high jump, discus and team relays. We promote good sportsmanship and whole school participation. Senior children, who demonstrate excellence, are given the opportunity to compete at a higher level at both the Grampians Zone and State Championships.

Inter school football and netball teams are organised between the schools in our district for the Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6. This gives the children the opportunity to meet and build future friendships for Secondary School life.

SwimGym

All students are given the opportunity to attend the YMCA for swimming and Gymnastic lessons, each held over a 7 week period. This is an optional program involving an additional small cost to parents.

Children learn how to use a wide range of swimming techniques and Gymnastic equipment, such as the uneven bars, the rings, and the trampoline.
