Topics of this nature are important issues facing society today and will be taught in a manner which supports the role of parents and reflects the ideals of the school. The course also promotes physical activity and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. it will give students the opportunity to become skilled in a variety of physical activities such as games, dance, gymnastics, athletics and swimming.
