Vision: “Physically Active and Healthy Lifestyles for All Students”
Our fun, comprehensive physical education program includes a variety of extracurricular activities, opportunities for students to pursue lifetime health and fitness, and a focus on fostering social skills that enhance cooperation. Kids who are active benefit in many ways.
Regular exercise:
Besides enjoying the health benefits of regular exercise, kids who are physically fit sleep better and are better able to handle physical and emotional challenges — from running to catching a bus to studying for a test. Across all grades at MSD, the combined Manitoba Physical Education/Health Education (PE/HE) curriculum is followed to provide developmentally appropriate lessons for all students. See Grade-Specific Curriculum Information for Parents.
The combined physical education/health education (PE/HE) curriculum was designed to address the following five major health risks for children and youth:
The aim of the curriculum is to provide students with planned and balanced programming to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for physically active and healthy lifestyles.
