Our physical education includes individual sports, team sports, ASA (After School Activity and Lunchtime Training).
Among these, individual sports and team sports are the primary P.E. courses. Based on the physical development and fitness of different grade students, we have physical education courses at different depths and difficulty levels that are age appropriate.

Enrichment program is an optional sports programme which includes different types of sports, like baseball, badminton, physical training, dodgeball, tag rugby etc. Students could choose the sport according to their interests in enrichment programme. Lunchtime Training is sport club training. These training go on to form our HD teams. This is an optional training which totally respects students’ choice to join or not. Students are invited to make the commitment to the club for the whole semester once they decide to participate in it. The training usually takes place after lunch. We offer 3 sessions a week of Lunchtime Training in each team, to help those students who have passion for sports to stretch their sport abilities and skills and achieve their goals by representing HD in schools competitions.
