Specialist Classes Physical Education The HKIS Upper Primary Physical Education Department believes students will apply their knowledge and skills to confidently engage in a diverse range of physical activities appropriate to their needs. It is important for students to demonstrate the attributes of good sportsmanship; To courageously participate. To maintain fair play and the integrity of the game regardless of the outcome; to lose or win with grace, poise, and dignity; ensuring teammates, opponents, officials, and spectators are respected, physically and emotionally safe, and encouraged to be their best. Our goal is for students to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity. Through the use of Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity Recorders (MVPAs) students are given the opportunity to track their own physical activity, allowing them to monitor their personal fitness levels. The HKIS Upper Primary Physical Education Department aligns itself with SHAPE America and the SHAPE Standards. “SHAPE America's National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education define what a student should know and be able to do as a result of a highly effective physical education program.” www.shapeamerica.org The HKIS Upper Primary Physical Education Department’s facilities include a Multi-Purpose room on

Aquatics At HKIS we believe in developmentally appropriate swimming opportunities for all students, from beginners to advanced swimmers. All Upper Primary students will take part in a Learn To Swim program during scheduled swimming lessons at some point of the school year, at the Primary School pool. Swim lessons and a variety of aquatics activities are differentiated for level and ability, thus ensuring students experience success, enjoyment, improvement of their skills, and development of their knowledge and understanding of water safety concepts. By providing such learning opportunities, students are encouraged to pursue lifelong fitness and enjoyment. The HKIS Primary School Aquatics Program uses standards of the American Red Cross’s Learn To Swim program, based on swimming levels. The objectives of Learn-to-Swim courses are to teach children to be safe in, on and around the water and to swim well. Aquatic and personal water safety skills are taught in a logical progression through six levels. By the end of Level 6, participants have developed the necessary skills and fitness levels for entrance into advanced courses, such as competitive swimming, synchronized swimming, water polo or other aquatic activities.
