Physical and
Wellness Education

Physical Education at UWCSEA East seeks to empower students to cope with life’s challenges and to value their physical, social, and mental wellbeing through leading an active lifestyle. Developing movement skills and concepts for our students to participate in physical activities with competency and confidence. The focus is on cultivating a positive learning environment that values and celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through practice and reflection, students are encouraged to use movement activities as a vehicle to strengthen relationships and develop effective teamwork, collaboration, and communication. Exploration of personal responsibility and safety concepts within activities will contribute towards the creation of a safe and respectful environment for all learners to thrive.
