Physical Education
The Physical Education department has the following basic aims:
- To encourage all students to develop physical competence and enable them to engage in worthwhile physical activities
- To develop artistic and aesthetic understanding within and through movement
- To help all students to establish self-esteem through the development of physical confidence and help students to cope with success and failure in competitive and co-operative physical activities.
