Overview
Physical Education is a fun-filled program that promotes physical literacy through a
variety of movement activities. The emphasis of the program is to promote sportsmanship, cooperation and
fair play through movement. Children attend four thirty-minute classes per seven day cycle.
They also participate in 8 sessions of Swimming lessons (Grades 3-6). We also participate in a school wide Healthy Commotion Day which will take place in the winter or early spring, along with a number of school-wide walks, such as the Terry Fox Walk.
Students also take part in the Eastern Active Schools initiative in which they perform cross-curricular physical activities in the classroom.
A large number of students participate in cross-country running and the Hershy
track and field events in the fall and spring of the year.
Lunch time intramural activities are also offered to all students from Grades 1 - 6. These activities are under the supervision and organization of our Physical Education teachers. The activities played vary throughout the year. They rotate through various lunch
time sessions in order to get the opportunity to participate in extra physical activity during the school day.
After school sports are offered to grade five and six students 3 days per week providing an opportunity for students to
participate in a variety of non-competitive sports and physical activities. All
activities are teacher supervised and free of charge. Sessions are from 3:15 to
4:15 and all students Must be picked up at 4:15.
In June our school also enters a baseball team in a tournament sponsored by
the RNC. Players consist of grade 5 and 6 students. Our school won this tournament in 2013 and a great big thank you goes out to our coaching volunteers who dedicated their time and efforts to the team.
Any parent who would like to volunteer their time for extra-curricular activities should contact the office at 781-1440.
