Personal Development, Health and Physical Education

It has been so nice to see all of the smiling student faces back in the classroom the past few weeks. Thank you to the parents and carers who supported the students with home learning, thank you to the students for engaging with home learning and thank you to the teachers who prepared valuable lessons throughout this time.

Sport and physical activity restrictions have limited our choices with practical activities, however the students have been very understanding and we appreciate how flexible and mature they have been in practical lessons.
