Sport and Physical Education

There is an understanding at Rhodes Park that each pupil is a complex and variously talented person in his or her own right. Rhodes Park has a full time Physical Education teacher, and all primary and secondary classes have PE lessons to ensure that the pupils learn to appreciate the benefits of exercise and good health.

As well as providing enjoyment and relaxation, our Physical Education program is also intended to build self-discipline and to arouse sleeping talents. Our school regularly fields teams against other schools in a number of sports.

Team members are inspired to bring honour to their school and to stretch their talents to the full,while being able to meet different personalities and visit new places.
The range of choice in individual and team sports such as soccer, netball, chess, table tennis and many others is multiplied by opportunities to lead, organise, play or simply watch.

House System

Each Rhodes Park pupil is placed into one of four houses. The Houses are happy, healthy communities, vibrant and reflecting the interesting richness of the school.

To encourage competitiveness and teamwork and to develop an appreciation of strength in unity, the Houses produce teams that compete in sporting and academic endeavours, such as spelling competitions and quizzes. Each child learns early on that they are part of a greater whole, and so share a common humanity.
