The fundamental goal of the physical education program is to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century by providing opportunities to attain the skills and knowledge to be physically active as part of a healthy lifestyle. Students should become competent in movement forms, motor skills, and social skills and learn to enjoy physical activity while not compromising safety. Participation in physical activity provides important opportunities for challenge, social interaction, group membership and serves an important role in physical maturation processes. Physical education provides enjoyment, challenge, social opportunities and a greater opportunity for self-expression and personal meaning.
