At Kippax North, physical activity, sports and wellbeing are essential parts of a child’s educational development. We have a balanced program which includes a variety of activities, providing students with opportunities to build fitness levels and develop a broad spectrum of skills. We also teach the knowledge necessary to use these skills for a lifetime of active participation. We at Kippax North are committed to delivering a high-quality PE and Sport curriculum that develops the knowledge, movement skills, fitness and social skills that our children need to enjoy leading healthy, active lifestyles.
