Theatresports

Theatresports is available as an elective at Oxley for Year 8 in 2026.
The Interhouse Theatresports comp debuted this year with Dobell coming First, Mawson second and Florey in third. 

On October 28, the Year 8 Theatresports class travelled up to Sydney’s Tara Anglican School for Girls to participate in the Theatresports competition. A group of five students were chosen to perform one 1-minute game, one 2-minute game, and one 3-minute game all based on your improv skills within parameters. The first heat was an amazing experience, even with one of our competitors down, and while we didn’t win, it was great to go up and learn first-hand what competitive theatresports is really like.

Little did we know that we would be back up at Sydney a week and a half later with only two days to prepare for a second competition. Yes, it turned out that we would be back for a semi-final adjacent competition that we did not realise would be happening until the Monday for a Wednesday competition. Since we had such short notice, only the five competitors would be heading up through carpooling and meeting Ms Whiteley there.

Despite a few mishaps including but not limited to a lack of ties, the destruction of property and changed plans, the five of us were ecstatic to be back performing once more. Our hard work of practicing and rehearsing paid off, and in the end, we placed third out of nine teams—there was a three-way-tie for third, but that’s beside the point—and returned home happy and exhausted. Congratulations to Oxley’s team of Jock C, Evelyn H, Levi O, Maeve R & Eli W (Year 8).
