Physical Education

OUR BELIEFS

The purpose of Physical Education is to enable students to demonstrate the physical skills, practices and values to enjoy a lifetime of active, healthy living. We strive to develop every Greenridgean to be physically fit, and to embrace and advocate for a healthy lifestyle.

HOW WE ENGAGE OUR STUDENTS

We design our PE programme to enable students to progressively learn knowledge, skills, and values in alignment with the 6 goals of MOE’s Revised PE Syllabus.

Goal 1	Acquire a range of movement skills to participate in a variety of physical activities.
Goal 2	Understand and apply movement concepts, principles, and strategies in a range of physical activities.
Goal 3	Demonstrate safe practices during physical and daily activities with respect to themselves, others and the environment
Goal 4	Display positive personal and social behaviour across different experiences
Goal 5	Acquire and maintain health-enhancing fitness through regular participation in physical activities
Goal 6	Enjoy and value the benefits of living a physically active and healthy lifestyle

We adopt a modified Sport Education Model together with Differentiated Instruction (DI) by roles or tasks to teach PE. This teaching approach is inclusive and allows students of all physical abilities to participate, and experience Imagine, Discover, Express, Achieve and Serve (IDEAS) in learning the different PE modules.

We use ICT platforms to supplement students with resources for learning. We use formative assessment and feedback to guide our students to acquire the learning outcomes of each module.

The experience of PE in Greenridge Secondary also includes participation in PE co-curriculum programmes such as Sports Carnival, Annual Cross-country, Team Grit Challenge and Outdoor Adventure Learning Camps.

Our total PE experience develops students to be confident learners, compassionate leaders, and ethical innovators.
