Sports offer a chance to teach, to re-shape and to renew.
Further the spirit of play, which may get lost in the cult of victory, of competition and of record seeking, is what boys need to cultivate to keep sports in proper perspective, in balance with the rest of life's pleasure and misfortunes. Wesley has a compulsory activities and inter-school sports participation policy, as well as a comprehensive physical education and recreational studies curriculum. Research confirms the benefits to boys of competitive sport and personal challenge activities, provided certain educational values are enshrined. Wesley is a member of the Public Schools' Association, one of the premier inter-school sporting associations in Australia, and observes the commitment and regulations which membership involves. The PSA sporting competition involves Cricket, Rowing, Tennis, Basketball, Lifesaving and Swimming in Summer, and Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Rugby Union, Hockey, Cross Country Running and Badminton in Winter and Athletics in early spring.
