The aim of Physical Education 8 to 10 is to enable all students to develop knowledge, movement skills, and positive attitudes and behaviours that contribute to a healthy, active lifestyle.

There is an increasing awareness of the importance of providing youth with meaningful and enjoyable physical activity experiences. Movement and play are focal points of young people’s lives, critical to all aspects of their growth and development. A physical education program provides opportunities for all students to be physically active regularly and to develop an appreciation for and enjoyment of movement in a variety of activities from the following three categories:

• individual and dual activities

• games

• rhythmic movement(dance and gymnastic activities).
