Physical Education

Balaclava has a strong commitment to physical education and health.

We supplement our daily classroom and school-wide programmes
with coaching sessions run by Dunedin's numerous sporting agencies.
Children receive coaching in swimming, cricket, gymnastics, squash,
hockey, jump jam (aerobics), netball, basketball, touch and rippa rugby.

Balaclava enjoys strong school community support which enables children to participate in various weekend sporting competitions. Balaclava has school hockey, mini-ball, tee-ball, rugby and netball teams. Students compete against other schools in athletics, cross-country and team challenges.
The annual Year 6 school camp provides students with sailing, archery, rock climbing, kayaking and other outdoor experiences.
