Work within the Physical Education Department is designed to support, contribute to and complement the aims of the IC Mission Statement. Physical Education aspires to provide an enjoyable, satisfying and balanced program with opportunities for all pupils to develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. The Physical Education curriculum offers a comprehensive range of experiences to meet the needs of individual pupils, and encourage active involvement by all performers, observers and officials.
Structured and developmental schemes provide for progression, challenge and a sense of achievement. The development of confidence, tolerance and the appreciation of one’s own strengths and weaknesses and those of others are considered to be an important part of the learning process. It is intended that the program offered will develop those skills and attitudes conducive to involvement in an active and healthy lifestyle.

The goals of the Physical Education Department are:

• To provide for the acquisition of, and the ability to apply knowledge, skills and concepts appropriately and effectively in a variety of movement-related tasks and situations.
• To promote an appreciation of movement through observation, analysis, assessment and evaluation.
• To develop an understanding and appreciation of health, fitness and the effects and benefits of involvement in physical activity.
• To develop a knowledge and understanding of safety procedures and an ability to apply safety principles in varied movement contexts.
• To provide for the development of inter-personal skills and the appreciation of individual differences and capabilities.
