Physical Education

 Our physical education curriculum applies a holistic approach to the concept of physical activity for young people. It recognises the physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions of human movement, and emphasises the contribution of physical activity to the promotion of individual and group wellbeing. Learning in physical education involves the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills, and attitudes central to physical education, together with recognition of its potential for integration with other curriculum areas.

The general aim of our physical education syllabus is to contribute to the preparation of the student for a life of autonomous wellbeing. This aim will be pursued through the:

•   enhancement of the student’s sense of self through the development of skillful and creative performance of practical activities 

•   development of the student’s understanding of physical activity and awareness of the links between physical education and other curricular areas 

•   motivation of the student to choose a lifestyle that is active, healthy and meaningful 

•   the personal enrichment of the student by developing personal and social skills, and encouraging positive attitudes and values in her/his interaction with others.
