Physical Education Class

• The focus of the education is on developing general athletic skills and basic physical skills (e.g., strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and balance), as well as practicing body control and muscle care.
• In other subjects, the perspective of health-related physical activity is also taken into account.
• In the sports class, in addition to two mandatory physical education classes, there are two additional hours of physical activity for each grade level.
• It is important to note that if a student accepts a position in the sports class, physical education will automatically become one of their elective subjects in the 8th and 9th grades.

Students studying in the sports class are selected from among the sixth-grade students who have registered, based on their school report and a diverse suitability test conducted at the end of January. The suitability test is held at the sports hall.
  The arrangement of the suitability test is the responsibility of Turenki Community School. The principal is responsible for student admissions to the sports class.
