To overcome this, Mike and the staff have taught the students that if they are keen and want to participate, then their parents will be more likely to take part. Mike truly believes that students can motivate their parents to be more physically active. St. Josephs has increased student enrolment over the past few years. Mike attributes much of this to the QDPE program. He believes parents want their children to attend this school so they can benefit from QDPE physically, intellectually and spiritually.
Physical energy is the source for maintaining the other parts of our well being.
From a tiny perfect gym, to Jake the dog, to physical energy, these are just some of the ways that Mike and the staff at St. Joseph's Public School motivate their students to become physically active on a daily basis. To live each day to the fullest and to get the most from each hour of every day is what St. Joseph's staff and students are doing to make QDPE work in their school.
