Curriculum Content Overview

The Physical Education Department at AA are committed to teaching the fundamental skills that underpin a wide variety of sports as well as developing strategies and understanding tactics of attack and defence. We aim to develop confidence to apply these skills and develop a love for being involved in a sport not only as a participant but also focusing on coaching and officiating.

Our experienced team aim for students to develop a passion for being involved in sport, to want to lead health active lifestyles and for some to develop a career in sport.
