New students attend physical education according to their timetables.

PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY. To apply for PE contracts students need to speak to PE teachers. All assignments are handed in electronically in Inna. If the student does not submit assessment components  A, B and C parts the student will then fail the course.

Please note that if a student turns an assignment in late or not at all they will get absences registered for PE until that assignment is submitted. These absences will not be corrected.

Also note carefully that if a student tuns an assignment in late they will not be able to get more than 50% of the credit for that assignment.

A student can get a 10 in the course if he submits 50 or more practices during the semester and a detailed practice diary.
