The PE curriculum is a fitness-based program in which students are taught the components of fitness and work in each class to improve their fitness levels throughout the year. The students will assess themselves in the areas of muscular strength and endurance, body mass index, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance. Students will participate in a wide range of activities such as circuit training, stability balls, medicine balls and weight training.
