PDHPE and Sport
At Killara Public School, each student is provided with the knowledge, skills and values to lead healthy and active lives. Leading our school program is our specialised Physical Education teacher.
Killara students enjoy a weekly skill-based program covering aspects of co-ordination, locomotion, balance and ball skills.
Our strong and supportive links with Killara High School have allowed weekly specialised coaching by secondary students for children not competing at PSSA level.
Life education, Interelate and Bike Safety are additional PDHPE programs taught at Killara Public School.
