PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT LBIS

Physical education is achieved through a combination of physical activity with the mental processes of making decisions, selecting, refining, judging, shaping, adjusting and adapting. Students will develop, through physical education, qualities such as commitment, integrity, fairness, enthusiasm and concern for quality as well as success.
