Loch Sport Primary School run a number of programs in addition to the core curriculum.
Students participate in weekly art sessions at school.
The school is a member of the Sale Art Gallery which provides students with 2 trips into the Gallery, as well as 2 school visits from a Sale Gallery artist. Students regularly enter art work in the Art Gallery displays. The school also likes to support the Golden Beach Art Gallery and promote student art work.
The school has an outdoor education program that incorporates camps and overnight excursions. The grade 3/ 4 camp and grade 5/6 camp venues alternate each year and locations include Munjarra (Lake Glenmaggie), Woorabinda and Rumbug for 3/4’s and Melbourne, Ballarat & Gelantipy (near Buchan) for 5/6’s.
The grade 3-6 camping program is coordinated by 2 of the Sale Rural Cluster of Schools. Each school is responsible for coordinating activities throughout the year for the benefit of the 8 rural schools (Loch Sport, Seaspray, Airly, Bundalaguah, Cobains, Nambrok Denision, Wurruk, and Cowwarr).
Children will not be permitted to attend excursions unless they are in full school uniform.

At LSPS we value the diverse and beautiful natural environment that surrounds us. We provide regular opportunities for students to partake in ‘hands on’ outdoor learning activities that allow them to explore and gain a deeper understanding of their surroundings, and to connect with their environment. We visit places such as the 90 mile beach, Lake Victoria, Lake Reeve, the National Park, and The Nakunbalook Environmental and Cultural Education Centre in Sale

Ride2School is a nationwide program delivered by Bicycle Network, designed to support schools to encourage, empower and enable more students to get physically active on their journey to school. At LSPS we enjoy partaking in this program and riding to and from school together for a designated week each year.
Each year we partake in a gymnastics program as a component of our Physical Education program. We go on a bus to the Maffra Gymnasium to learn gymnastics skills and to develop strength, coordination and spatial awareness
The school regularly takes part in fun and interesting incursion programs that include visits from Black Snake Productions wildlife experts and their animals, weekly visits from Leiha; our beloved reading dog, visual arts projects completed with visiting local artists, and even circus skills lessons!
The school continues to work on building a vegetable and herb garden. We have had visits from Raquel Harris from Wellington Shire who has taught students about planting and looking after a garden, and we have also established a worm farm.
These activities encourage students to develop environmental awareness and responsibility at school through growing and caring for plants, cooking with produce grown at school, and using food scraps in the worm farm which is later used in the gardens.
Students are offered weekly music sessions with a music specialist. Students work with a range of different instruments and participate in theory and exploration of concepts.
The school participates in an annual Safety Day hosted by Loch Sport Boat Club. Students venture to the Lake and learn about boat and water safety in a controlled environment. Emergency Services such as SES & Ambulance Victoria are also involved, providing students with a wider scope of emergency education.
The school holds an annual end of year concert which all students are encouraged to participate in. Senior students are encouraged to take on extra roles and responsibilities that may include helping junior students, doing additional performances and assisting with organising the event.

The whole school participates in Sports days with the Sale Rural Cluster of schools for athletics, swimming carnival, and cross country. Our Grade 3-6 students also participate in coach approach/ winter sports day. The school also offers weekly sports sessions and daily fitness activities.
Students are provided with an annual swimming program in term 4 which operates for 8 weeks. This is an extra- curricular activity and the school encourages all students to participate as Loch Sport is located between a Lake and Surf Beach. Participating students are transported to the Sale Swimming Complex where they are assessed and provided with lessons from a qualified instructor, based on their abilities.
