Quality education in a unique environment

Sport and HealthAt Pretty Beach we believe participation in sport helps develop healthier children and helps build confidence, teamwork and leadership. We provide daily physical education and access to a range of competitive and non-competitive sports including soccer and touch football. There are opportunities for representation at school, zone, regional and state levels in sports including swimming, cross country and athletics. The health component of our Personal Development, Health and Physical Education program involves not only being active but following a healthy lifestyle. Our canteen supports this by providing healthy food choices for students. Our staff and parents are committed to the philosophy that healthy bodies and healthy minds lead to a healthy school community. |
