All students at Keiraville Public School participate in a weekly sport's program which develops body movement and control, as well as fundamental movement skills.
Students develop competence and confidence in a broad range of games, sports and physical activities, progressing to more games and sport's specific skills, in both non-competitive and competitive environments, that foster positive feelings of success and enjoyment.
Students learn awareness and consideration for others through fair play and cooperation in small groups, progressing to demonstrate teamwork, tactics and strategies when participating in team games.
