Healthy Future Citizens

• Physical education plays an important role in a child’s overall well-being. I believe we need to develop healthy future citizens with the knowledge and capabilities to make healthy lifestyle choices; in order to minimise the increasing numbers of obesity and related health issues that our society has been facing.

Good links to health and safety

• The physical educational classroom teaches important health topics such as learning how to take care of yourself by properly grooming, eating healthy and regular exercise.

• As well as safety topics such as road and water safety and the effects of drug use, consequently by acquiring this knowledge students will be able to lead a healthy, hygienic lifestyle and road and water fatalities will be reduced.

Promotes academic learning

• With the knowledge of healthy eating and opportunities to participate the physical activities at school; student’s concentration and performance in the classroom will improve.

esteem• By participating in physical

education, students can develop positive attitudes and build their self-esteem as it allows children that are academically challenge but are good athletically to excel.

• Furthermore, it gives students the opportunities to communicate and cooperate with others, therefore fostering their social skills; additionally it also gives students the opportunity to work together to a common goal which promotes teamwork and sportsmanship.
