At St Peter's Catholic Primary School, we believe in the importance of being physically active to support a healthy body and mind.

Physical Education (PE) is taught as a specialist subject area from Prep to Year 6 with a specific focus on the Movement Health and Physical Activity strand of the Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum. Students in Prep and Year 1 are provided with the opportunity to participate in physical activity for 40 minutes each week as a minimum part of the Health and Physical Education curriculum. Students in Years 2 - 6 engage in a double PE lesson (80 minutes) each fortnight.

At the core of Physical Education is the acquisition of motor skills, movement concepts, and physical literacy to enable students to engage in a range of physical activities – confidently, competently, and creatively.  As a foundation for lifelong physical activity participation and enhanced performance, students acquire an understanding of how the body moves, develop strategic awareness in sports and games, and a positive disposition towards participation in physical activity. Health and Physical Education provides students with an experiential curriculum that is contemporary, relevant, challenging, and physically active.
 
St Peter's hosts annual Interhouse Carnivals in swimming, cross country, and athletics. All year levels participate in a Cross Country event in Term 1. Junior and Senior Athletics Carnivals are offered in Term 2 or 3 each year and all students have the opportunity to participate and demonstrate the skills they have learned in the fundamental skills of run, jump,​ and throw.  All classes participate in swimming lessons with a swimming carnival for students in Years 3-6, and a celebration of skills in Prep to Year 2.

Interschool Sports along with other, additional sporting activities are offered as opportunities for students in Years 4-6. The sports offered include netball, touch football, rugby league, cricket and soccer. Intraschool gala days are hosted on-site at St Peter's and are planned to coincide with District Interschool gala days, offering Years 4- 6 students access to sporting opportunities.  ​
