Our survey course in physical education exposes students to a wide variety of individual and team sports such as volleyball, cricket, track and field, soccer, gymnastics, softball, racquet sports and field hockey. One quarter of the course consists of health units related to well-being, communication, human anatomy and physiology. In health and wellness, students have the opportunity to understand the consequences of unhealthy lifestyle choices and make personal decisions related to their intellectual, social, physical and emotional development. Students can try out for competitive sports teams which compete with local Zimbabwean schools or take part in intramurals so as to further develop basic skills. The courses includes both team and individual sports. Other areas such as weight training, human anatomy and physiology will be covered to prepare students for independent workouts.
