Physical Education (PE) Department

The purpose of PE in East Spring Primary School is to develop physically competent and confident individuals who enjoy a lifetime of active and healthy living.

 The five goals outlined below provide a framework for our PE curriculum, with each goal playing a crucial role in fostering students’ understanding, skills, practices, and values.

Healthy Lifestyle Practices
Students have a personal commitment to healthy lifestyle practices in physical activity, nutrition, sleep, outdoor time, and hygiene.
