Physical Culture, or Physie (pronounced " fizzy “), is a sport for girls and women from 3/4 years up which aims to build confidence, good posture, strength, fitness, and flexibility through exercise.
Uniquely Australian, the Bjelke-Petersen School of Physical Culture has been involved in the fitness of Australians for well over a century.
The syllabus is updated annually, is performed to modern music and comprises standing and floor exercises, aerobic warm-ups, basic ballet, and modern dance.
Our choreography is age-appropriately designed to teach the relationship of music to movement, rhythm, co-ordination, balance, and musical interpretation.
The Physical Culture year culminates in a series of friendly competitions for both teams and individuals. These are not compulsory, but they do help to foster a club spirit, a sense of belonging, and club loyalty.
The National Junior Finals are held at Olympic Park Sports Centre, Homebush Bay. The prestigious Senior and Ladies National Finals are held each November in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.
Physical Culture is a marvellous way to develop healthy minds and bodies whilst forming friendships that last a lifetime. Most of all, Bjelke-Petersen Physical Culture is a lot of fun!
