About this course
MYP Grade 8 Physical & Health Education empowers students to develop knowledge, practical skills, and attitudes that underpin a long-term healthy lifestyle. Through a balance of learning about (concepts like fitness and nutrition) and learning through (sports, personal fitness, and wellbeing), students explore key ideas such as Change, Communication, Development, and Relationships. They investigate relevant global contexts—including Scientific & Technical Innovation and Identities & Relationships—as they design personal fitness plans, engage in team and individual sports, and reflect on their physical and mental well-being. Assessment follows the IB model: Criterion A: Knowing & understanding Criterion B: Planning for performance Criterion C: Applying & performing Criterion D: Reflecting & improving performance
