Physical Education

Our Approach

Physical Education is an important component in school to help develop our students holistically. In AHS, we aim to develop students who are physically competent and confident who enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle. Through the four years PE curriculum, students will improve their movement competency and concepts to take part in various physical activities. Students will learn about the importance and benefits of leading an active and healthy lifestyle and learn to be responsible for their well-being. Students will make informed and responsible decisions during lessons based on school-based values.
