SPORTS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Citius, Altius, Fortius Swifter, Higher, Stronger. A day at The Indian School begins with all the students marching in the school grounds followed by regular calisthenics. Two classes of physical training periods are compulsory for each student every week. Apart from learning the intricacies of various games, sports and physical education, the students develop physical stamina essential to life. We also believe in the motto, “A school which plays together, stays together.

Our school is privileged to be one of the pilot schools of the PEC India programme A collaborative effort of the Government of India with the British Council and Youth Sports Trust who are working on a sport development programme designed to raise awareness and understanding of the impact of physical education on the child. It is an extremely participative and interactive programme, with subject linkages as well, thus actively involving teachers in the ‘games’. Designed for the Primary level it has been successfully implemented in our school in Classes I to V. Learning has become all the more fun as it is now associated with games and has certainly helped the children to release energies, pick up on concentration levels and learn team spirit.
