Our PE Program At HKA, there are specialist Physical Education teachers who work, each week, with all students from K3 to Middle / High School. The aim of the Physical Education program is to provide students with the relevant physical and health related skills, knowledge, and understanding to lead healthy and active lifestyles. This is done through a combination of inquiry and direct teaching. Hong Kong Academy has an indoor sports hall and a rooftop area. Where more specialized facilities are required, Primary and Middle / High School students are taken by bus to local venues. Sports Day takes place annually at a local stadium.
