Description Description of the current interschool house sporting competition


Bacchus Marsh Grammar physical education program offers each year level and house three different types of sport every term. Two of these sports is a traditional sport and the other one is a contemporary sport. The school provides first class facilities for students to participate in physical education, such as a gigantic gym where they have opportunities to use fitness technologies and equipment, and they even have their own dance studio. 

 The school has four house teams which are called Bacchus, Pentland, Hilton, Braeside. These house teams will compete against all  students in their own year level. They will undergo the the house competition every fortnight. 

The physical education program at Bacchus Marsh Grammar is delivered based on the foundation principals of the promoting physical activity/skill development curriculum model. This model is the most common at the secondary level because it has a broad-based multi-activity approach that focus on promoting physical activity and developing physical skills with students. It uses units of physical activity or sport as the basic core of the curriculum which vary in length. The model has a primary focus on learning motor skills and the activities changes on the desires, needs and interest of students.  This is shown by the design of the physical educational program at Bacchus Marsh Grammar because it represents a student centered focus curriculum, a broad multi-activity approach as shown by a wide variety of sports and activities, the students are learning during the course of the year. The school also has a high focus of promoting physical activity and developing physical skills with students.
