PHYSICAL EDUCATION & HEALTH P.E at Karamu High School has been very different this year with the uninvited covid-19 putting us into lockdown in March. None-the-less it has been a great year full of learning and fun. We have seen a whole lot of talent come through the gym at our junior level and it has been awesome to see so many students develop their skills in a range of areas. It’s not only the physical skills where we see so many students grow but also their interpersonal skills, along with their WELCOME values. A highlight of the year for most students, in P.E, is finally getting their hands on the climbing wall and defeating their fear of heights. Another highlight is dodgeball, and a crowd favourite badminton.
It was great to see all students participate in our sensational Junior High programme. The effort and pride when representing their House was evident and a pleasure to see. A great way to end the year! This year the Health programme has seen the addition of ‘Mates and Dates’ with a strong focus on Mental Health and Healthy Relationships. It has been great to see the students interacting and engaging with their classmates and their teachers in a positive manner. As a faculty, we look forward to stepping into 2021 and seeing things return to ‘normal.’ This will allow us to resume our Outdoor Ed aspects of skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, abseiling, and surfing.
