Learning Targets
Learning Targets
The physical education curriculum aims to develop students’ basic sports skills, health and fitness, sports-related values and attitudes, knowledge and practise of safety, knowledge of movement, and aesthetic sensitivity. To help students better achieve the learning targets and enhance their learning motivation and efficiency, the school selected the appropriate learning contents and adjusted the strategies on learning and teaching based on students’ physical disabilities and learning needs.
Physical education aims to develop students’ physical competence, to promote nerve, muscle, bone and functional parts of the body. It also aims to arouse students’ interests in sports associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. Through games and physical activities, students are expected to learn the importance of collaboration and communication, thus cultivate their positive attitudes and sportsmanship.
