PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Physical Education Department provides a variety of physical activities for our students. Physical skills, lead-up games, and cognitive knowledge are taught in team sports, individual sports, and in the area of physical fitness. It is important to not only be able to play the game but also have knowledge of the rules and regulations of the activity. Skill and written tests are given to evaluate the student's ability and knowledge. Our goal is to develop healthy attitudes towards physical conditioning and sports to enable our students to enjoy a full life of active participation.
