Guiding Principles

Our main goal in physical education is to help our students derive the health-related benefits that can help them in all facets of their lives. PE provides sufficient personal skills to perform a variety of physical activities, give the student a high regard for participating in regular physical activity, and gives them knowledge of the benefits, risks, precautions of involvement in physical activity, and a value for the role of a healthy lifestyle. A goal of our program is to provide activities where self-expression, self-confidence, and physical and mental poise can be attained through perseverance and mastery of physical, mental, and social tasks. In addition, each physical education class is composed of three main components: fitness, skill development, and games/activities. Good sportsmanship is a vital aspect of physical education, so it will be emphasized throughout the year. Our fundamental goal is to create a positive learning environment for students to learn more about the health benefits of physical fitness, and how to make it part of their lives.
