Physical Education

Physical Education Programme

Physical Education is essential in developing an active and healthy lifestyle in the students at Aiglon College.  As a department we are in the position where we can affect the attitudes to sport of the young people in our care and we aim for all students to receive positive experiences wherever possible so that they become lifelong physical activity participators.

At Aiglon College students will receive a strong, educated, planned Physical Education which gives them the opportunity to explore sports at the initial level and to give them the motivation to then pursue at least one sport to a higher, more competitive level.  This education allows the students to appreciate sport and to pursue it as a lifelong, healthy activity.
