Physical Education

Vision

Physical activity is the beating heart of the PE curriculum. Through a wide range of health, well-being and practical activities, students improve fitness levels as well as developing and applying their knowledge. A life-long love of physical activity is nurtured through the development of socially, physically, and emotionally strong and confident young women.
