What is Physie?
Physical culture, or Physie (pronounced “fizzy”) is a sport for girls and women from 4 years up which aims to build confidence, good posture, strength, fitness and flexibility through exercise. Uniquely Australian, the Bjelke Petersen School of Physical Culture (BJP) has been involved in the fitness of Australians for over 130 years. The syllabus is updated annually and dance routines are age appropriate and choreographed to contemporary music.
Physie is a dancesport for girls and ladies from 4 years of age. Our National body, the Bjelke Petersen School of Physical Culture, has a long and proud history of over 128 years in Australia promoting “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.

BJP Physie focuses on developing the self-esteem of its students. By teaching them to have a positive relationship with their bodies, we help students blossom with confidence and self-assurance.
BJP Physie is passionate about nurturing students’ total wellbeing, in both mind and body. Physie is an accepting and encouraging team sport, where every member is supported and motivated to be the best they can be.

A Typical Physie Year
The Physical Culture year culminates in a series of friendly competitions for both teams and individuals. These are not compulsory but they do help to foster a club spirit and a sense of belonging. The National Junior Finals are held at Quaycentre, Sydney Olympic Park. The prestigious Senior and Elite Ladies National Championships are held at the end of the competition season in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.
