A complete sports pathway, from 6ème to 3ème
6ème SPORT
Pupils in 6ème sport have one extra hour of sport per week. This allows them to aim for a higher level of skill in PE and to discover other forms of sport throughout the year (original, innovative activities). Emphasis is also placed on developing cross-curricular skills (sporting culture, self-knowledge, health, etc.), through various specific projects and highlights:
- Meeting Romain Mornet, an athlete in the French national athletics team.
- Introduction to Laser Run (a biathlon combining pistol shooting and running).
- Ice hockey taster course.
