Award Winning Daily PEP Program

All children at Pambula participate in a daily fitness program four mornings a week. We find this is a great way to start the day. Activities include skipping, running, aerobics and an endurance circuit. The children participate in their house groups which brings together all ages from Kindy to year 6, supporting the family atmosphere of the school.

Houses
