At Thomastown Meadows we provide a high quality, engaging and fun Health and Physical Education program, promoting maximum participation, building knowledge and developing confidence. We aim to promote the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle, through learning and developing movement skills, exploring a variety of games and sports, building resilience and fostering a positive attitude.

Our comprehensive program also supports students to build and identify what actions to take towards enhancing their overall health, fitness, safety and wellbeing. We develop students’ knowledge around the value of relationships, the importance of teamwork and cooperation, helping to build a sense of self.
