The aim of the Health and Physical Education curriculum is to promote the value of physical activity in students’ lives. It gives pupils the opportunity to practise ways of working with others to adopt and maintain a healthy, productive and active lifestyle. At Kolbe the Health and Physical Education curriculum encourages students to be physically active people for life. Students learn through challenging and enjoyable movement experiences, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence in a variety of contexts.
