Physical Education: Fostering Well-Being & Character

Fostering well-being enhances learning and develops happier students. At Stamford, physical education and health studies represent a significant part of school life to create athletic prowess, character, confidence, and sportsmanship.

Physical and health education helps students understand and appreciate the value of being physically active and develop the motivation for making healthy life choices. The course fosters the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to contribute to a student’s balanced and healthy lifestyle.
