Physical Education
The Physical Education program prioritizes inclusive, high-engagement student participation, focusing on long-term wellness and self-efficacy over rigid technical execution. The curriculum integrates foundational physical literacy and diverse on- and off-campus experiences to cultivate a sustainable, lifelong commitment to active and healthy living.
Students can advance their development through Physical Education 20 and 30 in Grades 11 and 12, exploring unique lifetime pursuits such as snorkeling, scuba diving, curling, and golf while building essential leadership competencies. In addition to fostering character growth, these senior-level courses are officially recognized for the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship, and Physical Education 30 satisfies academic entrance requirements for select post-secondary faculties.
This course offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to athletic development, seamlessly bridging theoretical sports science with elite physical preparation. Facilitated by a teacher and certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, the curriculum is designed to equip students with both the scientific literacy and the practical skills necessary to optimize human performance. Students will explore the physiological, psychological, and tactical dimensions of athleticism, establishing a foundation for lifelong physical literacy and leadership.
