🏃♂️ Be Active Program
A Capel Primary School Wellbeing Initiative
Since launching in 2013, Capel Primary School’s “Be Active” lunchtime program — alongside our Student Sports Leadership program — has continued to grow with outstanding success.
The program offers a wide variety of structured lunchtime activities that promote positive relationships, physical activity, and student wellbeing.
🌟 Key Features & Benefits
🗓️ Activities Throughout the Year
Lunchtime offerings change seasonally to meet a broad range of student interests. Activities include:
🐞 Bug Club
Exploration and nature based play
Held in our beautiful bushland area, Bug Club gives students the opportunity to connect with nature through bug hunting, cubby building, and imaginative outdoor play. It's a space for curiosity, creativity, and collaboration in the great outdoors
🏏 Cricket, Softball, Basketball, Football
Classic team sports that promote teamwork and active play
🛴 Wheels
Scooters, bikes, and other wheeled fun (helmets required!)
🎨 Art & Music
Creative spaces for self-expression and relaxing exploration
📚 Library Access
A quiet space for reading, browsing, or just taking a break
💻 Computers
Digital activities for learning and creativity
🌏 Blue Earth Games
Cooperative games that build connection, movement, and inclusion
Students are rostered by year group to access different activities, ensuring variety and fairness across the year.
This program not only encourages students to “be active” physically but also supports their social and emotional development, helping them build friendships, resilience, and positive behaviour habits.
