Intramurals are a great way to get everyone involved. They provide an opportunity for everyone of all abilities to play, develop skills, have fun and form friendships. 

INTRAMURALS

Leadership in sport and recreation involves guidance, direction, control, management and supervision.

LEADERSHIP

Lunch and break times provide an ideal opportunity for safe, structured and fun activities to engage all children and help meet recommended guidelines for all children to achieve 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Active playgrounds result in a reduction in break time incidents and accidents as well as a reduction in senior management time spent dealing with accidents and behaviour problems.

ACTIVE PLAYGROUNDS

Daily physical activity is a critical component of making sure that publicly funded schools in Ontario are healthy places to learn. Studies have shown that when the physical health and well-being of students is supported, their academic achievement improves as well.

DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Physical literacy encompasses the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that establishes purposeful physical pursuits as an integral part of their lifestyle.
