Extra-curricular activities

Putney Public School participate in the Primary Schools Sport Association (PSSA) competitions in cricket, softball, tee-ball, volleyball, newcombe ball, netball, soccer, Tiger Tag and Australian Rules (AFL). Students in years 3-6 are given opportunities to trial for these teams at the beginning of the season (winter/summer). Students are selected based on a range of criteria specific to each sport base on the Sport Selection Policy.

Specific information regarding each sport, rules and regulations, as well as draws and results, please go to the Ryde PSSA website.

PSSA is currently not running. Updates will be announced via the Sentral parent portal.

Putney offers dance lessons which are taught by Danni Camage from Avenue D Performance Studio. Dance holds many positive benefits including fitness, coordination, wellbeing and creativity. Danni is an experienced dance teacher and has been choreographing and teaching dance to Putney students since 2012. Students try out to be selected for the junior or senior dance group at the beginning of the year. Junior dance practice is on Tuesday lunch.
Senior dance practice is on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. 

Dance Group is currently not running. Updates will be announced via the Sentral parent portal.

The Putney Public School Technology Interest Group is available for Stage 2 and 3 students.  We work with small groups of 10-12 students on a rotational basis to give as many students as possible the chance to participate. Activities include online and physical activities and aim to be an extension of their normal in-class technology program. The program's online component includes coding such as Scratch, Makey Makey, Microbit and Hummingbird, and the 3D modelling program SketchUp. Away from the computers, students deconstruct various computers and appliances, as well as learning how to physically cable computer networks. Involvement (or not) at any particular time does not exclude you from the many STEM events and competition Putney Public School enters during the year. We aim to spark interest and teach new skills which allow the students the ability to identify and solve real life problems, whilst exploring technology, design and programming outside of the classroom.

Students at Putney Public School have the opportunity to participate in the English, Mathematics, Spelling and Digital Technologies ICAS competitions run by the UNSW Global. These competitions are designed to identify and celebrate academic excellence. They provide students with an excellent opportunity for test practice under examination conditions. They also give parents detailed information about their child’s results, providing another insight into their child’s learning.

ICAS assessments occur in Term 3.
