Statement of Intent
As a department, we are passionate about meeting the needs of the individual students through a variety of different activities and approaches.
All students at DHSG will rotate through a broad and balance curriculum that inspires them to experience success in different physical activities and competitive sports by challenging themselves to achieve their fully potential.
We aim for our students to become competent performers in a broad range of activities and embed values, such as fairness and respect through everything we teach.
We are committed to helping our students become physically confident to enable them to lead healthy active lives through their time at DHSG and beyond.
