Physical Education
PE helps students develop personally and socially: by working as individuals, in groups or in teams, they learn the principles of fairness and social responsibility toward others. The range of opportunities in PE allows them also to take on different roles and responsibilities, such as leading, officiating or coaching. Through this range of challenging activities they understand how to become effective participants and how to get involved and remain involved in sport.
