Physical Education and Sports

Physical education and sports is a teaching discipline that is open to all students, from kindergarten to high school. The practice of a sport allows for the development of each individual by offering spaces for socialization and solidarity, which encourage respect for rules, for oneself and for others.

In addition to the health benefits, which are no longer in question, the practice of sports at school has a double purpose, educational and social:

  • school sports promote the learning of responsibility and citizenship;
  • it teaches self-respect, respect for the rules, for the opponent and for the referee;
  • it promotes the notion of teamwork;
  • it contributes to avoid any form of violence;
  • it improves health habits, thus contributing to the prevention of addictive behaviors and health education;
  • it contributes to integration by creating social links.

THE VALUES OF SPORT

  • Solidarity and loyalty: All players must show solidarity with each other and with their team in order to win. To be a “good player”, not to cheat, not to fake. Reject all forms of doping and corruption.
  • Respect for:
    • the rules ;
    • the referees and the arbitration ;
    • of the opponent.
  • Self-control:
    • do not respond to provocations;
    • Calm down those who would let themselves be carried away;
    • control one’s ego.
  • Surpassing oneself: doing everything possible to overcome one’s own limits. The surpassing of oneself is a competition where the only opponent to face is oneself.
  • Joy in sport: sport is a source of enthusiasm. It brings feelings, sensations and joys that nothing else can achieve.

SPORT, A TEACHING DISCIPLINE IN HIGH SCHOOL

Physical and sports education aims to train, through physical, sports and artistic activities, a fulfilled and cultured citizen, capable of making informed choices in order to engage regularly and autonomously in an active and supportive lifestyle.
