The Physical Education Department in Colchester is committed to the belief that education of the total child is crucial for students to reach their fullest potential in life. In Physical Education, the child’s mental, physical and social development are inter-grated. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to lead a healthy active lifestyle.
