These are fun times for the Health and Physical Education department at MES KALLADI College. The excitement is palpable as the new Indoor Stadium comes closer to being a reality with every day. The new facility (comprising gym, workout facility, offices and yoga hall and Table Tennis court) will be vital to co-curricular and sports teams’ success. However, the biggest impact is sure to be felt by students in HPE classes and the dedicated teachers who teach in the spaces.

For students taking part in the Sports and other activities, the changes will be significant. No longer will there be sharing of gyms and courts, as there will be enough for each student to have its own space. Up-to-date cardio equipment in the workout facility will provide ample opportunity to train and mentor other students during fitness units.
