Introduction
In Poi Ching, Physical & Health Education (PHE) is regarded as an integral part of our education system and forms part of our curriculum. As such, the department plans and implement an effective and meaningful PHE programmes, activities and events consistent with our school mission and vision. We strive to provide a holistic PHE education for our students with the necessary 21st CC knowledge, skills and values to help them in life. The Physical Education and Sports Development Framework guides the delivery of physical education and sports within the school system. It envisions a nation of active and physically competent individuals. Everyone values, participates and pursues physical activities and sports of their interest and ability in order to enrich their lives, be they for recreation and well-being, personal challenge and achievement or for national honours.
Purpose and Goals of Physical Education
The purpose of physical education is to enable students to demonstrate individually and with others the physical skills, practices, and values to enjoy a lifetime of active, healthy living. Physical education is about movement. Movement is fundamental and essential to life, work and play. Movement competency facilitates participation and allows individuals to derive pleasure and satisfaction from physical activities. An individual who can move proficiently has the skills and knowledge related to movement and values purposeful moving for life. Physical education, therefore, is responsible for helping students take on the responsibility of learning by providing them with the capacity to make reasoned and wise choices through a lifelong process of change. Physical education teachers consciously make use of movement as the primary medium to reach and teach the whole child through the following three modes:
- education in movement;
- education through movement; and
- education about movement
