Health and Physical Education

HOF: Mr B Merchant

The focus is on the well-being of the students themselves, of other people, and of society through learning in healthrelated and movement contexts. In health, students develop their understanding of the factors that influence the health of individuals, groups and society. In physical education, the focus is on movement and its contribution to the development of individuals and communities.
