Physical education and sports at the Lycée français Molière in Zaragoza
Physical Education and Sport (EPS) plays an essential role in the education of pupils at the Lycée français Molière. Its aim is to develop motor skills, health, cooperation and self-confidence, while at the same time transmitting values of respect, effort and solidarity.
Sport at an early age
From early childhood onwards, psychomotor sessions play a central role: they enable young children to develop coordination, balance and body control, while laying the foundations for numerous spatial, temporal and social concepts that will be revisited later in class.
From an early age, pupils enjoy several weekly sessions of physical and sporting activities. The curriculum includes swimming lessons from Year 1 to Year 5 (CP to CM2), as well as cycling lessons in Year 2 (CE1), to work on balance, movement control and road safety.
Sport in secondary school
In the French system, PE occupies a recognised and assessed place within the Baccalaureate framework. Pupils are assessed on their physical, methodological and social skills through various sporting activities.
This official assessment highlights the importance given to sports culture and the comprehensive development of students, on the same level as academic disciplines.
Sporting events with a purpose
Physical education teaching is also structured around integrative projects and shared events:
- Race Against Hunger. From nursery school (TPS) to 1st year of secondary school (6e). It combines solidarity, health and civic engagement.
- The Petit Molière Cross. From 1st year of primary school (CP) to 1st year of secondary school (6e). A highlight of togetherness, effort and community spirit for the entire school.
- Involvement of the school's volunteer students in the Race for Science organised by the University of Sciences of Zaragoza.
Physical Education at Molière is about learning to excel, cooperate and build a sporting culture that is open to the world. Classes are held in various locations: the school grounds, the sports facilities and swimming pool at the Helios Nautical Centre, and the La Coruña de Aragón stadium, which is used for athletics.
APE MOLIÈRE
The teaching of physical education in school is also integrated into a genuine educational continuum with the numerous sports activities organised by the Parents' Association, thereby reinforcing the pleasure of exercise, the discovery of new disciplines and cohesion within the school community.
