Primary School Physical Education is intended to be an enjoyable experience
for students in which they learn and practice physical, cooperative and team
skills. The experience allows them to explore their personal physical limits
and learn to take acceptable physical risks. Physical Education is a
learning
laboratory for skills and knowledge related to life-long fitness and
wellness
issues. The joy of movement is modeled by the teacher at all times in a
variety of fitness activities, to include movement and sports skills
development exercises.
