DBS believes that preparation for a life of healthy, physical activity is an inherent part of a good education. All children need to be active and fit and our physical education and sports program is designed to challenge each child to reach his or her personal best.
Through a combination of basic skill development, exposure to a wide variety of athletic activities, and participation in both non-competitive and competitive games, DBS students are afforded the opportunity to develop their physical strength and skill to the best of their individual ability. Whether mastering the art of skipping in Reception or shooting 3 pointers in Year 13, all students have an opportunity to become confident in their own physical ability and comfortable as part of the team.
Our school successfully competes in several sporting events. Training sessions equip students to compete in leagues against other schools and clubs in the following sports:
- Football
- Basketball
- Track and Field
- Cross-Country Running
- Swimming
- Volleyball
