In Physical Education we offer a range of courses and extra-curricular activities for all pupils.

 

Every pupil in S1-S4 receives two periods of core PE in their timetable with S5’s and S6’s participating in one period per week.

 

When pupils reach the end of S2 they can then choose PE Studies which offers them a further three periods of PE per week preparing pupils for National courses in S4.

 

At certificated level, pupils in S4 will study either National 4 or National 5.  At National 5 pupils focus on completing a portfolio based on the Factors Impacting on Performance and participate in two one-off performances in activities where they feel most confident. If pupils choose to continue with Higher PE in S5 they will work toward an exam at the end of the year as well as a one-off performance in an activity of their choice.

 

There is also an extensive list of extra-curricular activities which pupils can participate in.  These include:

• Gymnastics
• Dance
• Basketball
• Football (Girls & Boys)
• Athletics
• Table-tennis
• Dodgeball

Pupils can also get involved in the Sports Council through the PE department as an important means of providing support to the department in the various events it runs throughout the year, helping to come up with ideas for improvements and importantly, to give pupils a voice in any changes they would like to see implemented within the department.
