Physical Education

Every PE Program aims for Physical Development. Physical development means enhancing all the potentials of the human body in such a way that it achieves its optimum capability in fulfilling its functions such as performing daily work and playing sports and games that are ably and easily carried out when the body is fit, well, and healthy. All the other components of a student’s life such as the intellect, social skills, emotional health and spiritual well-being depend much on how well he feels about his body. PE then must be able to gear its goals and activities to strengthening the qualities of the body and extending this thrust towards fulfilling the needs of the soul thus providing the student a high quality of life.
