Sport

At Good Shepherd Catholic school, we aim to establish a sporting culture that encourages and enables all children to play and enjoy sport. All students participate in Physical Education lessons each week, based on the Australian Curriculum, with a specialist PE teacher. 

Throughout the year, students are exposed to a wide range of sports and games which help to develop children’s fundamental movement skills. Students are provided with opportunities to participate in various inter school sporting competitions as promoted by Townsville School Sport. These opportunities will be promoted to students and will be acknowledged across multiple communication platforms including our school Newsletter, Facebook and through Weekly What’s Ons. 

To raise the profile of PE, we have sporting houses within the school which are Bohle (Blue), Stuart (Gold) and Ross (Green). Houses develop children’s sportsmanship, team skills and create a sense of belonging.
