Physical Education (Core)

Physical Education (Core)

It is no secret that appropriate physical activity is necessary to your overall well-being. The benefits of Physical Education in schools are far-reaching, including increasing your physical literacy, your ability to work with others and helping improve your academic performance. Physical Education is more than just running around a track or kicking a ball. It teaches you key life skills alongside improving your social, mental and physical well-being. Obesity continues to rocket across the globe with more people taking on sedentary lifestyles. Having a positive mindset about exercise from an early age will help to keep you healthy as you get older, and as an added bonus you will get to experience lots of different activities and learn lots of new skills!

You will follow a programme which requires you to participate in a range of activities and specialise in different roles, ie. Coach, leader, official or organiser. Currently our programme consists of:
