Q. 36
A high-quality PE curriculum enables all students to enjoy and
succeed in many kinds of physical activity. They develop a wide
range of skills and the ability to use tactics, strategies and
compositional ideas to perform successfully. When they are
performing, they think about what they are doing, they analyse the
situation and make decisions. They also reflect on their own and
others’ performances and find ways to improve upon them. As a
result, they develop the confidence to take part in different physical
activities and learn about the value of healthy, active lifestyles.
