運動對青少年成長有深遠的影響，香港地小人多，發展體育教育有一定困難，不過我們總需要有一個開始。筆者相信體育課程是教育下一代保持身心健康的重要資源。希望透過體育課程改革，我們可達致以下三大期望：1.體育科改革定要以學生為本，除使學生有健康的身體，也應令他們有良好的體能及肌肉協調。這樣，他們才有精神、體力自主學習，擁有積極的人生觀和正確的生活模式；2.新課程要著重透過運動培育學生的合群性及與他人合作的能力，使學生透過了解、參與、觀看體育運動，學會欣賞體育美態、體育精神、體育道德；及3.培養學生對終生運動的興趣及能力，建立學生正確的態度，經歷愉快的、多姿多彩的運動過程，從中養成持續體育運動的習慣、態度及觀念。
Physical Education plays an important role in helping the young generation maintain an active lifestyle and good health. In a densely populated city like Hong Kong, sports development and Physical Education programmes can hardly be developed without the support of schools. We believe the Physical Education Curriculum needs to be reformed to achieve the following aims: 1. Develop an active lifestyle and acquire good health, physical fitness and bodily co-ordination; 2. Promote the qualities of desirable moral behavior, cooperation in communal life, ability to make decisions, and foster an appreciation of aesthetic movement; 3. Develop motor skills and acquire the necessary knowledge and understanding in physical and sport activities for nurturing positive values and attitudes towards an active and healthy lifestyle.
