SPORTS & EXTRA-MURALS

Imhoff Waldorf School values sport and physical exercise. The value of sport as a means of maintaining physical fitness and wellbeing is emphasised above competitiveness.

Physical Education (PE)

PE takes place weekly within school hours and is facilitated by individual class teachers and trained coaches. Lessons include a variety of sports, games and skills. PE encourages children to be active and it promotes body awareness and fitness. It also teaches children how to work as part of a team, co-operate with others and play fairly.

In playgroup and kindergarten children have plenty of opportunity to play freely and interact with each other and nature. From Class 1 to Class 3 the focus of PE is on co-operative games and skills, with a slow introduction to competitive games. From Class 3, PE is run by trained coaches and children learn a variety of sports, games and skills. Sport is also promoted in high school and is offered in a balanced way.
