About PEXpo
The PEXpo is a platform where secondary school students showcase projects exploring various facets of physical education. With five main categories—Physical and Psychological Demands, Technology in Sports, Olympic Values, and more—the event celebrates innovation, research, and the value of sport in education. The 2025 Xpo aims to exceed its record of 25–30% school participation.
Why Participate?
Students can benefit significantly, gaining opportunities to conduct independent research, build confidence, and connect with industry experts. Past winners Liam Carew and Shane O’Connor shared their journey, emphasizing how their project, examining the impact of education on adolescent life, propelled them to success at the BT Young Scientist competition and beyond. They credited PE Xpo for developing their skills and confidence.
Educator Yvonne Nolan, a biology teacher with 29 years of experience, also praised the program for its low workload and high rewards, noting how it complements students’ academic and personal growth.
Integration with Gaisce – The President’s Award
A standout feature of this year’s Xpo is its partnership with Gaisce – The President’s Award. Participants can fulfill the Bronze Award personal skill requirement through their PE Xpo projects, making this event a dual opportunity for personal and academic achievement.
