Physical Education is the study of how physical activity impacts on our lives.  Physical activity experiences are an integral part of human development.  They contribute to people’s physical health and well-being, growth, personal development and self-esteem.  Regular and enjoyable physical activity benefits everyone and for our students it should be a part of daily life.

Please feel free to visit the Physical Education website anytime for updates.

What are the seven employability skills employers want?
Positive attitude - A positive attitude is not just about being “bubbly”. It means showing that you’ll happily do the work asked of you, and you’ll stay upbeat when the work gets hard. Communication - You show good communication skills if you follow instructions well and you ask questions when you’re confused. Being able to explain things clearly is also a big plus for employers. Teamwork - Playing or working well with others is not just a bonus on the rugby ground or during that science project, it’s something employers value. Can you share the workload and be nice to your workmates? Self-Management - Getting to work on time and dressed right is just one part of self-management. Not throwing your toys around when you’re frustrated and managing stress successfully are top skills that will get you a job.Willingness to learn - Learning doesn’t stop once you leave school. Employers want to know that you can learn new technologies or new skills. Being keen to learn is a good bet for getting a job. Thinking skills - Employers rate thinking skills the highest when looking at your CV. Do you like to solve problems? Can you make a good decision? Do you think before you act? Resilience - Have you got grit? When something knocks you down, do you get back up again? This is resilience.
Employers need you to have this skill to cope with the times things go wrong at work.
