A page dedicated to our Coaches providing information for training and games.
Pedare strongly believes in the benefits gained from involvement in school sport.
Our sports program aims to be an educational experience that engages students
in valuable learning opportunities. It extends the Physical Education program
through further opportunity for students to be challenged, build friendships, set
and achieve goals and interact with their peers.
Sporting excellence is underpinned by an emphasis on participation. Students
of all abilities are encouraged to participate in at least one of the many sports
offered at Pedare.
Pedare Fixtures and Term Schedule can be found on the HOME page of this portal
