At Ferny Grove State High School, we are committed to nurturing the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our students through a dynamic and engaging Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum. Our HPE program, aligned with the Australian Curriculum Version 9, provides comprehensive and stimulating learning experiences for students from Year 7 to Year 10. All students in Years 7-10 complete six months of HPE each year, allowing them to explore a variety of physical activities and health topics. As students transition into the senior phase, they have the option to pursue specialised subjects such as Physical Education, Health, and Sport and Recreation, enabling them to pursue their passion on their pathway of learning.
At Ferny Grove, we believe in the importance of offering students opportunities to engage in sport beyond the classroom. Our extensive extra-curricular sports program includes a wide range of activities designed to cater to students of all abilities, fostering teamwork, discipline, and a passion for physical activity. Students can participate in:
- Touch Football
- Rugby League
- Basketball
- Netball
- Soccer
- Futsal
These programs offer students valuable opportunities to develop both their athletic skills and personal growth through competition and team participation.
Our signature FAST (Ferny Advanced Sporting Teams) program is designed for students who aspire to pursue pathways within Touch Football and Rugby League. The FAST program offers specialised coaching, strength and conditioning, and competitive opportunities throughout the year. Students not only enhance their athletic performance but also develop essential leadership and teamwork skills. FAST empowers students to collaborate effectively, communicate on and off the field, and take on leadership roles within their teams - skills that will prepare them for success both in sport and in life beyond school.
At Ferny Grove, we are proud to provide a pathway for students to progress through the Queensland representative sport pathway. Our school offers talented athletes the opportunity to advance from district competitions to state-level representation. With a strong track record of producing athletes who go on to compete at state and national levels, we are dedicated to helping students reach their full potential in the sports of their choosing.
We are focused on inspiring students to develop a lifelong passion for health, fitness, and sport. Whether through our engaging curriculum, extensive extra-curricular sports, or specialised programs like FAST, we ensure that all students are supported and encouraged to achieve their personal best.
