SBS PE Information Leaflet 2015
Physical Education at Simon Balle School The PE Staff at Simon Balle are enthusiastic and passionate about promoting sport and attempting to get as many students as possible involved in some form of physical activity. This is achieved not simply through individual participation in games, but also through developing student’s leadership potential through the Sports Leaders courses. We believe the work we do in this area is invaluable in increasing confidence, motivation and communication skills within Physical Education.
