Bjelke-Petersen Physical
Culture aims to improve general health in Australians by promoting physical
fitness and mental wellbeing.
Our motto is mens sana in
corpore sano – “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.
The physical benefits of
regular exercise are well-known. There are also psychological benefits:
enhanced self-esteem and social skills that flow from gaining confidence at
an activity and becoming involved in team sport. Physical culture also
promotes the development of co-ordination and balance, assisting children
with the mental tasks required for academic achievement.
Bjelke-Petersen aims to
serve the community, supporting the many non-profit clubs who belong to our
association. We keep costs to our members and their teachers low so that
physical culture is within the financial reach of every Australian family.
We provide a fun, safe,
non-elitist, inexpensive, team-based sport, encouraging people from all
communities to participate. |
