The 11 Fundamental Movement Skills drive our Physical Education Program at Milgate Primary School. Over their primary school years our students develop these skills and then put them into practice, firstly in modified games, team sports and then through Intraschool & Interschool Sport.
Through our extensive Physical Education program our students also experience a wide variety of incursions run by various Victorian Sporting Associations.

Year 5 and 6: students play Interschool or Intraschool Sport during Terms 1 & 2, with the Yr 6 students being given preference in the Interschool Sport Teams during both terms.
