Pupil Profile: Rebecca
My name is Rebecca and I am currently studying a National 5 in PE. I chose this subject because I am passionate about sport and my ambition is to become a PE Teacher.
I have gained a range of valuable skills such as communication, team work, creativity and critical thinking. Furthermore, I have become much more confident which has helped me not only in PE but in other subject across the school. My performance skills have also improved which has allowed me to perform with control and fluency of movement.
