Physical Education
“We aim to develop individual skills, excellence, teamwork and leadership through participation in a wide variety of physical activities”.
“To create an environment focused on innovation, unity, and sustainability where students demonstrate a strong social conscience.”
The ERV Physical Education Faculty firmly believes that by instilling a passion for sport in our students from an early age, the skills and values acquired will be taken on their journey throughout their education and into adulthood, thus becoming an integral part of their holistic education.
We believe that participation in a range of sporting activities develops the individual, as well as growing the sense of unity, teamwork and cohesion. Sport and healthy living should underpin their whole student life and our aim is for students to live their life with a strong social conscience.
It is the Faculty’s goal to give our students the necessary tools and skills to achieve excellence in all they strive to achieve. Physical fitness, discipline and success can contribute towards academic success, and we expect our students to take pride in their performance in the classroom as well as on the court/pitch. While we aim to build competitive, winning teams, our primary mission is to promote the value of school spirit and fair play.

Faculty of PE Philosophy
At ERV, participation in our games and sports program is not only a fun and rewarding experience, but also a privilege and a valuable educational experience. Sport can have a monumental and lasting impact upon a student, and with that in mind, students, faculty, and parents approach the games with the following high standards and moral values: sportsmanship, hard work, leadership, individuality and community, learning with passion and rigor, tradition and innovation, and diversity. These ideals reflect the goals of the ERV PE Faculty and are applied specifically to the sports teams and curriculum, as it serves as another arena in which students can improve themselves. Here, as in the classroom, success in one area leads to that in another
