Our Curriculum Strands

 

Strands in the curriculum serve as categories for organising physical education and defining its broad purposes for students. Their primary function is to organise content for the development of knowledge, skills, and positive values and attitudes as a holistic process. The PE curriculum framework is structured to ensure students enjoy a broad and balanced programme featuring a variety of movement experiences through six inextricably intertwined strands.

 

The learning objectives of the six strands are as follows:

• Motor and Sports Skills: To acquire locomotor, body coordination, and object manipulative skills in a wide range of physical activities for fun and performance.
• Health and Fitness: To ascertain how physical activity is related to good health; and to learn the basics of planning, implementing, and evaluating individualised workout plans.
• Sports-related Values and Attitudes: To understand the meaning of sports competition and develop positive values and attitudes.
• Knowledge and Practice of Safety: To learn risk management and implement measures to prevent sports injuries.
• Knowledge of Movement: To construct a knowledge base for fun, performance, and the organisation of physical activities.
• Aesthetic Sensitivity: To understand the meaning of beauty and strengthen the capability of giving comments on physical performance.
