Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss K. Dawson.
Level 3 Physical Education
At Craighead we aim to help students grow as 'confident, connected and involved' lifelong learners, ready to contribute to their world. Students learn that well-being is a combination of the physical, mental and emotional and social and spiritual aspects of people's lives. They learn to think critically and to make meaning of the world around them by exploring health-related and movement contexts. They learn how to bring about sustainable health-enhancing change for individuals, communities and society. At the heart of physical education is the individual and discovering who she is and what her strengths are. They Physical Education and Health Department aims to provide a programme that nurtures and empowers young women to develop their academic, physical literacy and leadership skills. Many of our students have gone on to study, or pursue careers, in health science, physical education, sport and education, sport, and education. They also excel academically and in their chosen sports.
