Objectives

The PE department seeks to equip each pupil with the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to enjoy a physically active and healthy lifestyle long after he leaves the school. It serves to complement other educational areas in promoting educational outcomes that are not likely to be achieved in other subject areas.

Enduring Understanding
Students will understand that the commitment to stewardship of the Physical Self will positively impact the long-term well being of self and society.
