Physical Education (PE) is one of the important components of the school curriculum and is essential for the overall development of the students. With improvement of physical health, physical education also has major positive impacts on social skill, mental health and also results in academic performance. Students must incorporate regular physical activities in their daily routines due to the increasing rate of childhood obesity and a lack of exercise. As the value of this concept in today's education gains traction, educational institutions such as ours i.e Kathmandu World School (KWS) are establishing the bar for how to use it in their curriculum.
Exercise increases overall fitness, strengthens bones and muscles, and improves coordination. Students who receive physical education are more likely to lead active lifestyles and are less likely to develop chronic illnesses including diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.This is accomplished by early on encouraging beneficial behavior in children. Taking those aspects in consideration, KWS encourages physical education heavily. The school has a peaceful, orderly environment to support and assist good learning. A personalized Extra Curricular Activity (ECA) block with multiple instrument-based music and dance studios, fitness center, swimming pools, futsal grounds and other activities aims to increase opportunities for physical well-being while demonstrating students’ skills in particular extracurricular activities or sports.
With first-rate facilities and infrastructure, Kathmandu World School (KWS) is in charge of its students' intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. KWS is concerned with the students mental and emotional health. It is essential to support physical education in this area of growth. Regular physical exercise in physical education classes have shown reduction in stress and anxiety which is important for creating an uplifting and encouraging learning environment. The goal is to create a joyful and positive school atmosphere and exercise helps in increasing mood and overall emotional well-being by increment of endorphins. Physical education helps students to feel better about themselves to accomplish their goals and advance their physical abilities which is compatible with the guiding principles of resilience and personal growth.Â
Students’ development of skills and collaboration is greatly supported by physical education. Students improve their communication skills, interpersonal cooperation abilities and understanding of the nature of teamwork through team sports and group activities. Taking those things into consideration, Kathmandu World School focuses on the development of social skills and teamwork. Students receive an understanding of values of effective communication, cooperation and mutual respect through physical education and group activities. As a result of team sports and group activities, students develop a sense of fraternity and an understanding for different points of view, which is in tune with our core values of respect and equality. The focus on social abilities and teamwork not just improves students' academic experience but also qualifies them for moral and responsible involvement in the modern world.
The basic values of excellence, honesty, respect and responsibility acts as a guide for the focus on the establishment of lifelong habits and personal development at Kathmandu world School. For students to develop a lifelong dedication towards health and well-being with the help of physical education programs promoting regular physical activities. Engaging in a variety of physical activities develop resilience, face and overcome obstacles and create and meet personal fitness objectives. The combinations of physical enhancement and growth mindset application approaches equip students to face life’s challenges head-on with confidence and determination.
The goal of KWS is to develop people who can achieve academic, athletic and social success. The physical education program that we create connects with fundamental values of excellence, honesty, respect and responsibility. Encouraging a balanced approach on teaching which supports every student’s complete growth by promoting them to participate in physical activities. Physical Education is a vital element for kids' lives even after school life, not just an extracurricular activity.
