Senior Sport
It is great to see students back in the Stadium and surrounds for Sport again. We had a very disruptive Sport program over the last couple of years due to Covid, but we hope and pray that we will be able to continue with an uninterrupted Sport program this year.
Term 1 is a busy term in Sport due to our House Carnivals for Swimming and Athletics taking place, followed by the EISM Division Swimming and Swimming Championships. Below is a table with all the important Sport events that will impact all students and for some events only selected students. Results from the House Carnivals are used to select the students who will represent Oxley in our Division Competitions in EISM Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country.
We encourage students to participate in Sport. If a student is unable to participate, a note of explanation of limitation and the length of time is requested, together with a physio / doctor report if available.
It is important that students wear their Oxley PE shirt, shorts, and socks to Sport unless they have been issued with an EISM uniform. For House Carnivals students must wear their House Shirts. Sun hat and sunscreen are also required during the summer months. The safety and wellbeing of students is our highest priority. Apart from our official Sport program, students can also improve their fitness by attending Running Group every Thursday after school. The program is not only about running but consists of various fitness activities.
