OverviewSBA Forms CXC Store Links

The study of Physical Education and Sport, not only allows students to work individually and cooperatively in the theoretical and practical components of the subject but also assists them in developing critical life skills. As a curricular inclusion, it provides students of varying abilities with experiences that facilitate physical, social, intellectual, cultural, spiritual and emotional growth. Skills related to decision-making, problem solving and critical thinking, and the use of sport technology are acquired by students undertaking a course of study in Physical Education and Sport.

The Physical Education and Sport syllabus is made up of a Compulsory Core and three Options to be completed during the two-year course of study. Each candidate must do the Compulsory Core and any two sports.  The two sports may or may not be chosen from the same Option.
