PE and Health faculty curriculum Intent
Our PE and Health faculty aims to create a learning environment where students are encouraged to take risks, develop confidence and resilience, improve physical literacy and take ownership of their education. With every student in mind, our faculty offers an exciting and broad curriculum to ignite a passion for sport and health. Throughout the year students have the opportunity to participate, lead and umpire across a range of sports and activities. Students are encouraged to compete in a wide range of sporting activities with the intention to build CHARACTER and embed values such as fairness and respect. Our intention is to ensure all students leave Denefield with the skills and knowledge to live a happy, healthy and active lifestyle, ultimately leading to success for life.
