Physical Education
Vision:
Every Xinminite, a physically educated child.
Mission:
Nurturing the Passion for Sports.
PE Curriculum focus to develop Xinminites to be:
· Self-directed learners by participating in all PE activities so that they can lead a physically active lifestyle in and beyond school.
· Active participants working collaboratively through various team activities in PE lessons, teaching pedagogies such as Sports Education and inter-class competitions
· Confident leaders in PE lessons and sports activities as PE Monitors, Sports leaders and PE group leaders. They are given centralised and de-centralised training to assist the PE teacher during and after lessons, leading the class in warm up and cool down exercises, captaining their PE groups in intra and inter-class games.
