Physical Education

Why choose Physical Education?
Physical Education is a well-established academic subject, which offers you the opportunity to explore sport on a national and global level. For example, why are the Australians so good at sport? How do elite performers train for optional performance? Why does England?s sports psychologist say the football team must ?dare to lose to win?? How important is it to choose your parents carefully if you wish to be successful in sport? As well, there is the opportunity to further your own sporting performance, making use of the superb sporting facilities we have to offer.
