Physical education occupies an important place at Highgate. The program assists students’ physical fitness and interpersonal skills. The focus of each lesson is on sportsmanship, teamwork, helping each other, and persistence.
Each class has one physical education lesson each week; this is complemented by daily fitness and Friday sport in both the junior and senior school.
Highgate also has an active interschool program. We participate in interschool athletics, soccer, netball, modcrosse and cricket. Our teams have both enjoyed success over the years at the carnivals and maintained an impressive level of sportsmanship.
Sport – Faction Houses
Family members are placed in the following factions:
BULWER (orange)
BEAUFORT (purple)
LINCOLN (blue)
A faction competition operates throughout the school and is a way of rewarding students in the form of faction points. There are two captains for each faction and students compete in a faction athletics carnival during the year.
