 The aim of Physical Education Programmes: to build solid 
 Foundation or building blocks towards being physically active
 ...to ensure that all children and young 
 people are regularly offered the appropriate 
 learning experiences to acquire a foundation 
 which will enable them to: 
  chose to be physically active throughout 
 their childhood and adolescent years and will
 also prepare them 
 for involvement in physical activity 
 throughout the rest of their lives
