Futsal25.jpgBray Park State High School HPE is run by exceptional educators utilising our own school sporting facilities, community and local club facilities. The Health and Physical Education curriculum encourages positive expectations of all young people as learners and assumes that all students are able to learn, develop, and succeed.  We have very strong ties with local sporting clubs which is integrated into our curriculum and sporting programs. The department strives to develop specific principles related to being healthy, safe and active. 

Junior Secondary 

The Junior HPE curriculum is based around the development of both healthy lifestyles and discovering sporting areas of interest. The delivery allows a greater reinforcement of literacy and numeracy strategies at Bray Park and also calls for a fair degree of participation from parents, friends and family in exploring issues such as: 

  • ​healthy behaviours for life;
  • social and relationship skills
  • various sports such as Futsal, badminton, volleyball, athletics, ultimate disc, softcross and many more

​Our Year 8 Health and Physical Education (HPE) program offers students an exciting opportunity to take their learning to the next level through sport specialisation. Students can choose from a range of sports, allowing them to focus on developing specific skills, strategies, and game understanding in greater depth. Guided by experienced, qualified coaches, participants receive targeted instruction and feedback in a supportive environment. This approach not only enhances physical ability, but also builds confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for active, healthy living.​

Year 10

The Physical Education subject in Year 10 is designed to give those students thinking of entering Senior Physical Education a chance to gain the base knowledge that will assist them in greater success in the coming years. It will give the student a firsthand look at what is required for achievement in Senior Physical Education in terms of assessment in both the practical and the theoretical sense.​​

Senior Physical Education

The senior course of study in Physical Education is a developmental subject, where practical elements and theoretical concepts from year 11 are followed up by more advanced studies in year 12. Through practical activities, theoretical principles from the disciplines of the exercise sciences (sociology, exercise physiology, psychology and bio-mechanics) are applied in order to gain insights and understandings into performance improvement and sport as a meaningful cultural activity in Australian society.​

Sport and Recreation

Our Year 11 and 12 Sport and Recreation program offers students the chance to step beyond the classroom and into real-world, hands-on experiences. Students develop valuable skills in officiating and leadership while exploring the outdoors through exciting orienteering excursions. A highlight of the program is the outdoor adventure camp, where students challenge themselves by abseiling, hiking, canoeing, and working collaboratively to cook their own meals and live independently in tents. This dynamic program builds confidence, resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for active, healthy lifestyles.​

With strong representation in Basketball, Rugby League, Volleyball, and Soccer/Futsal, students have the opportunity to develop their skills, compete at various levels, and be part of proud school teams.

In addition to these programs, all students are encouraged to get involved in the annual Interhouse Carnivals, including Swimming, Cross Country, and Athletics. These events are a highlight of the school year, where participation is celebrated, house spirit shines, and students come together in a fun and supportive environment.
