Pedagogical approach

Physical Education as an integral part of the total development of the individual is a main aspect of entire education. The course’s pedagogical value is more significant than just the development of physical and motor skills. Physical Education positively influences lifestyle and encourage cultural interaction, as it engages the pupils’ participation at different levels: emotional, relational and personal. The main task of Physical Education is to promote the potential for development through exercise, play, performance and health, in a secure, structured and work-friendly environment.

The Physical Education course (compulsory) is taught 3 periods / week from S1 to S3, and 2 periods / week from S4 to S7. Classes are composed of students from different language sections.
