DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH SCIENCE 44

Physical Education is part of a wider process of education. One view of education is that it is a process that seeks to transmit, evaluate and enrich aspects of culture. Sports as a cultural form are valued all over the world. It plays a vital role in everyday life. Sporting activities can provide a healthy and enjoyable leisure pursuit throughout ones life, assist in social and community aims, build up civic and national pride and create an impact on the economy.

Our Philosophy relates to sport in its widest possible context .

We endeavour to provide the opportunity for all our students to take part in a varied sporting programme.

We aim to develop their understanding of the need for a healthy, active lifestyle, to promote a willingness to participate, an ability to empathize with others and a love of physical activity that will provide an enjoyable leisure pursuit in later life. Our programme aims to equip students with the knowledge, understanding, concepts, values and attitudes to adopt an active lifestyle. Voluntary and long-term participation in sports is dependent on individuals feeling competent and confident enough to participate at their own level. It is of prime importance that Physical Education is a positive experience, made accessible, stimulating and enjoyable and that every student feels valued whatever the standard.
