Learning in Physical Education involves the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes, which are central to physical education, together with the recognition of its potential for integration with other curriculum areas. Physical Education in Bailieborough Community School is the only educational experience where the focus is on the body, physical activity and physical development. This enables students to develop respect for their body and contributes to integrated development of the mind and overall student wellbeing. By participating in physical activity this positively enhances self-confidence and self-esteem. Physical Education makes distinctive contributions to developing social skills, and prepares students to cope with co-operation, competition, winning and losing, whilst also providing skills of knowledge for future life outside of school. Bailieborough Community School takes pride in knowing that the Physical Education program offered plays a vital role in providing students with the skills and knowledge for lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
