PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE) 

Physical education is taught through the key learning area of Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). It is an effective means of providing all children with the skills, attitudes, values, knowledge and understanding for lifelong participation in society.

Physical Education is not only about playing games or sport, or just building fitness, the focus is on purposeful learning. Opportunities are created to support students to learn in, about and through movement and physical activity within quality physical education lessons.

In physical education we aim for our students to:

• Develop in confidence, competence, knowledge and understanding.
• Display physical competence, moving efficiently and effectively, and the ability to transfer and adapt their skills to suit a range of physical activity environments.
• Display the cognitive understanding and social and emotional skills they need to lead a physically active life.
• Demonstrate capability to engage in PE on different levels and adopt different roles.
• Display a positive attitude towards engagement within PE and demonstrate an understanding of the benefits of adopting and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle and the skills to do so.
• Demonstrate prosocial behaviour and realise the benefits of persistence, cooperation and teamwork.
