Physical Education

Image of the accessible track at W Ross McDonaldWe encourage all our students to be physically active in a safe learning environment to develop confidence and independence. All our opportunities for students include high staff to student ratios. Our physical education classes are all inclusive, accommodated specifically for students who are blind and visually impaired. We follow the Ontario Curriculum guidelines for physical education and activities are accommodated so that, so that all students can participate, are safe and successful, and therefore they develop a lifelong appreciation of physical activity. Our fitness facilities include a beautiful gymnasium, a pool, weight, fitness, and cardio areas, which allows for many opportunities and experiences for our students.

Because of the high level of support for our students, we can have them participate in many different opportunities such as volleyball, roller skating, soccer baseball, blind soccer, basketball, goalball, gymnastics, track and field, golf, frisbee golf, track and field, yoga, pilates, weight training, swimming and fitness testing which is on par with Paralympic standards.

We have two physical education teachers, as well as four full time lifeguard/swim instructors who run programming for our students. Some of the extra-curricular programs offered year round include cross country, year round swimming, 5 on 5 blind soccer, wrestling, gymnastics (floor, beam, trampoline, bars, rings, vault), track and field, equal opportunity for competing against sighted students in wrestling, and some track and field events.
