Sport

PSSA

Randwick has a proud tradition of successfully competing in Sydney Coastal PSSA. Our Summer teams are selected at the very start of the year, as the season often starts in Week 3. Randwick selects 4 girls cricket teams and 4 boys cricket teams; 4 girls and 4 boys touch football teams; and 3 mixed basketball teams. They compete during Terms 1 and 4. Our Winter selections are held at the very end of Term 1, so they can start the first week back of Term 2 and continue till the end of Term 3. We have 4 girls netball teams; 4 mixed rugby league and union teams; 4 girls soccer teams and 6 boys soccer teams; and 2 mixed AFL teams.

School Sport

Randwick provides a range of engaging sporting activities to Year 3-6  students. These activities are designed to build the skills and understandings required in a variety of sports, including those in Summer and Winter PSSA. Students participate in multiple rotations and activities in each session, subsequently building on skills learnt in the previous lessons.

K-2 Sport

Kindergarten, Year One and Year Two (K-2) participate in regular physical activity through creative play, dance, gymnastics, minor games and sports. K-2 learn a range of fundamental movement skills, including balance, vertical jump, sprint run, catch, hop, side gallop, skip, overhand throw, kick and two-handed strike. The sport sessions are run by classroom teachers and specialist staff.

Students in Year 2 also participate in weekly swimming lessons during Term 1.

The swimming carnival is held in Term 1 for all students, 8 years and above. Students can compete in competitive races in the four strokes of freestyle, breastroke, backstroke and butterfly.

The Cross Country carnival is held in Term 2 for all students, Years 2-6. Students run distances between 1-3km, depending on their age group.
