"I love studying PE at Notre Dame because the class are all sports people like me and enjoy competing even if it is just for a 10-question quiz. The teachers are so passionate about their subject and make the lessons interesting by using the latest sports as examples from netball, rugby and football to disability sports such as goal ball and wheelchair basketball. I can learn the theory to be a PE teacher or sports scientist and play my sport for TEAM ND alongside this, making my game performance stats even better". -
