Activities are continually being developed that enable students and staff to both celebrate and participate in physical activity. For instance, each spring the school puts on a special Active Living Week. During this week, a number of special activities are planned, such as Jump Rope for Heart, playground parties and cross-country fun runs. A special 'uniform' day lets students and staff come to school dressed in their favourite sport paraphernalia, such as baseball uniforms, dance outfits or hockey gear. Carvel feels that the enthusiastic students are a main factor in the program's success.
Students love physical education at our school.
Most classes are taught by physical education specialists that allows for the delivery of positive, effective and fun learning experiences for all students. Every student participates in 30 minutes of physical education daily. Jack Stuart Elementary School is fortunate to have the support of many individuals within the community who make their QDPE program possible, and they know it. This school will continue to offer QDPE and benefit students for years to come, enabling them to live longer, healthier and more productive lives.
