PE DEPARTMENT
The school’s general aim is to instill a positive attitude to physical education and sport so that students are aware of its unique contribution to a full and healthy life-style.
The PE Department Handbook breaks down this general aim into a dozen specific objectives which range from body management, fitness, experiencing success and satisfaction, to challenging experiences through outdoor activities, worthwhile use of leisure time and much more.A number of colleagues, who are not members of the PE department contribute to the sports aims and achievements of the school as well.
Students successfully participate in dance festivals and in district, county, regional and national tournaments and championships. Students are provided with a range of opportunities in athletics, games, dance, gymnastics, swimming, outdoor education and healthrelated exercise.
