Physical Education Program

The Physical Education Program aims to create experiences in a broad range of skills and sports so that the students have a variety of choices available to them. We encourage the students to strive towards personal and team goals, to accept challenges with a positive attitude and to be able to deal with successs and failure as a learning experience.

The Launceston Preparatory School Outdoor Education Programme

In their final three years at the school, children will have four outdoor camps- one in each of years four and five and two in year six. These have not been assembled in any haphazard fashion but, like any curriculum development, with conscious reference to the needs of our students and our school philosophy.

Sport Roster

All students from groups 4-6 participate in Friday afternoon Summer and Winter rostered sports. They also have the additional option of playing a second sport after school throughout the year.
Students in grade 3 are encouraged to attend training sessions in preparation for their involvement in competitive roster matches in the following year.
Training for rostered sport is held after school on Tuesdays or during the lunch hour for soccer and tennis.
The Launceston Preparatory School is part of the Northern Independent Junior Schools Sporting Association (NIJSSA) which includes nine of the local independent schools in the Launceston area.
Summer Sports include T-Ball (modified softball), super 10's cricket (modified cricket) and tennis.
The winter sports roster includes football, netball, hockey and soccer.
Students may also participate in tennis during third term.
