Physical Education

“Equipping students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to live active, healthy lives.”

Students are nurtured into a ‘can do’ attitude towards learning, built through individual and team activities. Students improve in confidence and develop resilience by challenging themselves to aim higher. Working in a team requires trust and Team PE work hard to build relationships with students that help them feel comfortable about performing across all sports and exercise activities.

PE plays a crucial role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, fostering a love for movement, and equipping students with valuable physical and social skills that benefit them throughout their lives.

• Physical health: Physical education encourages students to be fitter and healthier by developing cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility.
• Lifelong enjoyment: PE can help students discover activities they enjoy and create a foundation for staying active throughout their lives.
• Understanding of movement: Students learn the skills and techniques behind various sports and physical activities.
• Well-being: PE promotes not just physical health but also mental and emotional well-being through stress reduction and mood improvement.
• Independence: Students develop self-reliance and problem-solving skills through participation in physical activities.
• Confidence: Overcoming challenges and mastering new skills in PE can boost self-esteem and confidence.
• Collaborative skills: Team sports and group activities within PE foster teamwork, communication, and cooperation.
