Physical Education

Mission

The Physical Education department seeks to develop physically competent and confident individuals to pursue a lifetime of active and healthy lifestyle.

Key programme

Physical Activity, Outdoor Education, and Physical Health Fitness
Students learn a variety of sports and games, acquiring basic skills of 6 games modules in their four to five-year stint in Zhonghua Secondary School. Students build their competencies in the Outdoor Education curriculum (navigation, shelter building, outdoor cooking), risk management knowledge to be confident in the outdoor settings. The students undergo progressive training for their NAPFA test during Physical Health Fitness lessons.

Interclass Games, Sports Carnival, Cross Country, and Cohort Activities
Students apply their knowledge and skills learnt during PE lessons to their experiences when they compete during interclass games and the Sports Carnival. Students learn the values of teamwork, fair play and respect for their teammates, opponents and umpires. The opportunity to play games they have learnt allows continual honing of their acquired skills to gain competence and confidence. The Cross-Country run builds and strengthens students’ resilience when they persevere through the training and actual run. It raises the physical engagement of our students. Cohort activities are conducted to encourage students’ exposure to the outdoors and encourage bonding opportunities within the class.

Unstructured Play and Recreation Day
Students are encouraged to adopt an active lifestyle by taking part in Unstructured Play during recess and during Recreation Day on Tuesday afternoon. They can loan sports equipment and play at designated PE venues or use the school gym.
