Weekly Physical Education at Andale School exposes students to a variety of sports, regularly supported by expert instructors in the fields of gymnastics, cricket, and tennis.
Students are introduced to the pleasures of food education, supporting the development of positive food habits through the school’s Kitchen Garden program. Dishes cooked reflect the vegetables, herbs, and fruits grown, season-by-season, by students in our organic garden. The program encourages critical thinking, teamwork, an understanding of cause and effect, and increased levels of observation.
Wednesday’s Karate strengthens the body and the mind, developing composure, clearer thought processes, stamina, and coordination. Students develop confidence and gain a sense of achievement as they earn their gis (uniform), belts, and stripes.
Semester one’s Swimming program ensures all students develop the skills required to be safer in and around water.
It all makes for a busy, yet balanced learning program for students. You can arrange to see this for yourself by contacting Andale School on 9853 3911.
