Fifth and Sixth year – Core PE
If you choose PE as a core subject in fifth and sixth year, students will decide their 8-week rotation of activities with their teacher. These are completed as a class group. The activities could be selected based on any of the activities experienced in the previous years.
Most groups focus on badminton, table-tennis, football, basketball and the weights gym.
