Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.
PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.
The sports program at Toukley Public School is organised by the stage teachers and is taken by them.
Sport is an important part of our school's PDHPE program and each class participates in a range of activities during a weekly session.
We provide a wide range of options using a our vast array of sport equipment to develop appropriate motor skills. Our school encourages full participation and enjoyment in a non-competitive environment.
We have had sporting celebrities visit our school to talk and promote an active lifestyle including Nathan Bracken (Cricket), Jesse White and Byron Sumner (both members of the Sydney Swans AFL squad) and members of Manly Sea Eagles and Newcastle Knights Rugby League teams.
Toukley Public School holds it's annual swimming carnival during Term 1.
Our school holds 3 major carnivals each year – Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. These carnivals are for all students 8 years old and up. We also have K-2 Fun Days for the students not old enough to participate in the Carnivals.
Successful students then participate in Wyong Zone Carnivals and Sydney North Metropolitan Carnivals. We have experienced some very pleasing results over the years especially in Cross Country and Athletics where we have won the Zone trophy for most successful school on a number of occasions.
We have had many students represent Wyong PSSA at the Sydney North carnivals, where many have reached the finals.
Our students participate in State knockouts in Rugby League, Touch Football, Basketball, Netball, Softball, Tennis, Football (soccer) and Cricket. Our successes in this area include making the Sydney North final in Rugby League four times this decade.
