Health and Physical Education
God has created our body. We were bought with a price and therefore we should
treat our bodies with care and respect. In Health, we focus on the basic issues
of healthy living such as nourishment, safety, community living, growing, and
grooming. We make extensive use of Christian Schools International's health
curriculum entitled Healthy Living. Puberty and the physical changes of
adolescence are introduced to the students during the spring of their grade six
year. Students in grades seven and eight study human reproduction in more detail
as they work through the textbook Preparing for Adolescence written by
Dr. James Dobson. Permeating these lessons and discussions is the
acknowledgement that we are image bearers of God and that we must honour God
with our bodies as well as our minds.
The Physical Education program offers a variety of challenging and stimulating
activities that emphasize:
- Social interaction,
cooperation and sportsmanship
- Fitness and skill development
- Acquisition of basic fundamentals through concept
learning
Our school also participates
in various sports tournaments organized by the Woodstock
District Christian Schools Sports Committee. We field
teams in soccer, cross-country, track and field,
volleyball, basketball, badminton and hockey. In the
winter students in JK to grade 4 have the opportunity to
join the ICS gymnastics club.
