The physical education program at our school encourages all students to become involved in physical activity, and through this involvement, come to appreciate the benefits of an active lifestyle. Our program provides a wide range of activities in order to promote and develop physical abilities and positive attitudes toward active living, fair play and personal achievement. All students take part in physical education activities twice in a six day cycle. During the year, the school provides opportunities for students to take part in skating, swimming and bowling. As band members, students develop both the physical skills and discipline involved in playing a musical instrument, and a general knowledge of music.
Musical literacy is a key component of the curriculum.
In addidtion to full band performances, senior students perform in various smaller ensembles. The band also performs at school assemblies, orientation day for new students, and the school leaving ceremony for our grade 9 students. Resource-based learning projects are planned instructional activities, based on student needs and curriculum objectives, which actively involve students in the learning process through the use of a wide range of appropriate learning resources. To assist students in developing appropriate research skills, a student research handbook was developed and a copy printed for each student. In addition, the school's collection of resources was organized by international research standards, coverted to an electronic format and made available to students on computers.
