Sport

A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL SPORTS REFLECTS OXLEY’S COMMITMENT TO DEVELOPING THE PHYSICAL GROWTH OF STUDENTS AND THOSE PERSONAL AND AFFECTIVE ASPECTS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.

In Years 7 to 10, skills and fitness are taught within the Physical Education and Health programs and all students participate in sports lessons every week. From their team sports, students learn loyalty, cooperation and responsibility.

As a founding member of the Independent Sporting Association (ISA) competition, the College has sought to uphold the principle of healthy competition where games are played in the spirit which reflects a positive approach to sport among schools of similar culture.

The College organises transport for away games and hospitality complements the sporting competition at home.

Boys can join teams to play Cricket, Basketball, Football (Soccer), Rugby Union and Tennis. Girls compete in Hockey, Softball, Netball, Touch Football, Football (Soccer), Basketball and Tennis. Annual competitions in Athletics, Swimming and Cross-Country are part of the ISA program.

There is an expectation in the Senior School that every student will participate in either a Summer or Winter ISA sport. Many students play both Summer and Winter sports. There is also the option to participate in Equestrian, Snow Sports, Mountain Biking and Fencing.
