About Wallarah Point Physical Culture Club

Wallarah Point Physie began in 2001 and proudly teaches the Bjelke-Peterson School of Physical Culture (BJP) curriculum. For more than 130 years, BJP has provided a national platform for Physie clubs to come together to engage in competitions and camaraderie.  Our club is run by a team of dedicated teachers who provide classes for all ages and abilities from pre-schoolers to ladies.

With no expensive costume or recital fees, Physie is an affordable way to learn to dance and keep fit, with a touch of glamour and a lot of fun!  Mothers, daughters, granddaughters, and grandmothers can all be members and share in this unique sport. Our club caters for all ages and abilities fo Physie is an experience you can share right throughout your life.

 

“Physie is an elegant way of developing not only fitness but also grace, strength and focus in our girls and women. At BJP, what we are most proud of is how Physie weaves its way throughout the lives of Australian families. Generations of women have discovered lifelong friendships, a true sense of community and a sport for life in Physie.” – Jackie Rawlings, BJP Physical Culture

Empowering Girls for Life

There is an aura of confidence around Physie girls of all ages. Taught to stand tall, with strength and pride, they are team players committed to achieving their goals.

Unlike some ballet and dance studios, Wallarah Point Physical culture club 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.
