Physical Education and Sport
Physical Education
Buckley House offers a comprehensive Physical Education and Sporting experience for all children.
In addition to the weekly Physical Education classes, children are also involved in swimming lessons, Perceptual Motor Program classes and weekly after school sporting programs. Our school Auskick program is ranked in the top 30 in the state and gives the children a chance to play on the MCG or Telstra Dome every year!
Sport
Children in Years 3 to 6 develop their athleticism and fitness levels by being involved in Cross Country, Swimming and Athletics programs that all involve finishing with a school sports day. We also take part in competitions with the Ivanhoe District School Sports Association and the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria. Children in Years 5 and 6 also play weekly sport against other schools in the Ivanhoe district.
Children compete in Winter and Summer sports such as Football, Netball, Softball, Volleyball, Rounders, Basketball, Soccer, Bat Tennis and Cricket. Often they are successful in the district and go on to represent the school in Zone, Regional and State championships.
