National PE & Sport Week is a celebration of the importance of physical education and health education, in addition to kicking off National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
Health and physical education is a critical component of a well-rounded education. It’s where students learn:
- Fundamental motor skills needed to participate in physical activity, which is vital at all stages of life;
- Critical personal and social skills needed to help manage daily tasks and challenges; and
- Important character values such as resilience, fairness and respect.
If you are a health and physical education teacher — thanks for all you do!
