PHYSICAL EDUCATION 
The Physical Education Program at Donburn Primary School is aimed at developing fundamental motor skills and involving students as skilled participants in play, games, dance, athletics, gymnastics, aquatics, sport, outdoor education, leisure and recreation.
Swimming is conducted for Years Foundation to 6 as an intensive program.

All students have 40 minutes of Physical Education with the PE teacher and another 40 minutes with their class teacher each week.

Foundation/Year 1
Foundation students participate in the Perceptual Motor Program for the second 40 minutes per week.  This program gives a child experiences in seeing, touching, processing and making judgements through locomotion and is delivered by the PE teacher and requires parent assistance for full implementation.  We invite parents to help with the program, so all of our students can participate fully.

Year 3-6
Students in Year 3 – 6 are involved in a comprehensive Sport Program, where they spend an additional 60 minutes with their class teacher or a PE teacher learning a variety of team sports.

Year 5-6
In Year 5 and 6 students play Summer and Winter Interschool team sports against local primary schools. Interschool Sport is sectioned into Summer and Winter Sport.

House Carnivals
House carnivals are held for swimming, cross country and athletics. Students in Year 3 – 6 participate in cross country and students in Years 4- 6 participate in the house swimming and athletics carnivals.
