| The name Physical Education is slightly misleading for our aims go far wider than the mere physical aspect of the subject. If we fail to look at the wider aspects of child development, we could not say we had completed our task as educationalists. |
| Physical Education is a part of the curriculum that can contribute most to the physical experience of the pupils. It aims are to be concerned with the development of motor-physical comprehension, in order to facilitate participation in worthwhile activities. |
| This, however, is only a small part of the role of Physical Education. It also give the child the opportunity to share the values of sports and games, both as players and spectators; enabling people of both sexes, all ages, all races and in later years, different occupations, the chance to meet each other in a play situation which is stimulating and creative. |
| We must aim to provide a challenge and adventure, helping people to experience common communication through different activities. |
| We aim to introduce the child to the aesthetic nature of life, by introducing the appreciation of movement, form and balance. No aims can be complete without the acquisition of skills, which must be learn’t if participants are to get full benefit from the subject. We also aim to encourage every child to take an active part in the subject and to enjoy this involvement. In present day society we must educate our children for leisure pursuits, which are of greater importance than ever before. |
| Our aims must, of course, overlap with those of the school. Within that, it is our responsibility to educate the child through our subject in such things as morals, and attitude, so that they can become worthy contributors to the society in which we all live. |
