The Physical Education curriculum is defined as education in the care and development of the human body stressing athletics and including sportsmanship, leadership and good physical fitness.
Within the curriculum three objectives are to: 1) develop and maintain a suitable maximum level of physical efficiency in each skill area studied, 2) develop useful physical skills and become proficient in body movements that are used in everyday activities, and 3) achieve social maturity, responsibility, leadership and sportsmanship to a desired level in each area studied.
