Sports Education in Physical Education Program (SEPEP)
With this initiative the teachers take a back seat. Students take their learning into their own hands allowing them to make slight mistakes in order to learn how to rectify them. The SEPEP allows children to develop communication skills, leadership, social skills and administrative skills through a range of activities. They gain insights into the sporting world through umpiring, coaching and competing in different sports with the planning and organisation of certain events.
Health and Fitness (Morwell Campus) – Throughout the Semester of Health and Fitness students complete a range of fitness testing activities and then design programs to improve these results. Students complete 1 hour of theory per week learning information about National Physical Activity Guidelines, fitness components, fitness and society, energy systems and muscle groups, which will open the door for students undertaking this area of study to gain a head-start on VCE PE.
Interschool Sports
Kurnai College is affiliated with School Sports Victoria, Wellington Division.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports including; Soccer, AFL, Netball, Badminton, Volleyball, Cricket, Tennis, Athletics, Swimming, Cross country, Basketball, Hockey, Table Tennis and more!
These competitions help students to form greater respectful relationships with their peers, staff members and appreciate the abilities of students from across Gippsland and the state. It is a great opportunity to participate in sporting competitions within the school environment and take the successes back into the classroom, developing confidence, self-esteem and a sense of pride in individual and team achievements.
Each Kurnai College team that represents the school demonstrates success regardless of the score at the end of the day. The students achieve this in the way that they conduct themselves both on and off the field and the way they show appreciation for each other and the dedicated staff that volunteer their time and energy to make sporting events possible.
