Learning efficiency is possible only when coupled with a healthy lifestyle. The mission of St. Philomena Physical Education Department is to ensure that all students acquire the knowledge, combined with social and physical skills that enable them to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This mission to ”Energize and Educate Students for Healthy Lifestyles” is done using the following belief statements:
-
Physical education will challenge students, not categorize them.
-
Physical education will strengthen the self-concept of each individual.
-
Physical education teaches students the need to INVEST in themselves in order to see a RETURN.
Developmentally appropriate movement skills and concepts are taught and reinforced continually, however, the heart of teaching physical education at St. Philomena focuses on teaching the skills of life from the skills of games.
The result will be students that personally value and invest in their own physical activity and health.
