Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) represents a broad view of physical activity and the many benefits that physical activity brings. The implementation of this syllabus within our school, offers an excellent opportunity to express our fundamental belief that all aspects of life have the capacity to lead us to God and that physical activity is no exception to this. Participation in regular physical activity is essential for improving health status and quality of life. It is God, the Creator, who breathes, shapes and forms human life and gives it meaning and an ultimate purpose. Formed in the image and likeness of their Creator, all human beings have within them the potential for life. Individuals who lead an active lifestyle enjoy a positive sense of general wellbeing, heightened energy levels and improved ability to concentrate.
