Jewellery in PE Lessons
The Association for Physical Education (afPE) strongly recommends the practice of removing all personal effects at the commencement of every PE lesson to establish a safe working environment . This applies to all ear and body piercings, including retainer and expander earrings. Therefore, students are asked to ensure that all jewellery is removed prior to every PE lesson.
