The subject area also aims to impart lifelong values through participation in various Physical fitness activities and routines that will allow them to cope with the daily demands of everyday life and enable them to become men for others and contribute to nation building.

The program, inspired by skill-level specific physical exercises and activities, also aims to address the different psychomotor developmental needs of every student by tailoring activities to the students’ skill level and allowing students to discover activities that suit their needs.
