Health & fitness
Located so close to the beach and parklands, St Mary’s is ideally placed to offer a range of health and fitness opportunities. Students can participate in:
· Annual school swimming, athletic and cross country carnivals for all students
· Inter-school Winter sport program for Years 3-6
· Other community events such as the ‘Robbie Slater Cup’, NRL, AFL and Netball clinics
In addition, the Year 6 Sports Captains coordinate lunchtime activities for junior students in the playgrounds, while students in K-6 can be taken to Manly Oval or the beach for lunchtime sport activities.
Healthy Active Australia Grant
St Mary’s has received a $150 000 grant from the Commonwealth government to spend on a Healthy Active Australia Project. The Project aims to increase the level of physical activity and healthy eating habits of students and the wider school community.
