Physical Education supports you in acquiring skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement activities. Students will gain experience within various physical activities assisting you in further understanding health and wellness benefits, promoting positive interactions and leading an active lifestyle.

Physical Education Classes

Physical Education at Clarence Sansom is structured as a modular program where students have some choice with respect to the activities that they participate in.  Modules generally last between two and four weeks and utilize the many spaces available in and around the school (Gynmasium, Cardio Fitness Centre, Foyer (Table Tennis & Foosball), outside areas (Upper Field, Lower Field, Baseball Field) and the Lunchroom).

Physical Education Clothing

When students are participating in outdoor activities they are encouraged to ‘dress for the weather’. Students are allowed to change into appropriate gym wear if they wish.

Clothing Policy

If desired, students are allowed to change into shorts, activity pants, and t-shirts for physical education class and all activity-based option classes. Official school crested T-shirts and shorts can be purchased from the school. Please note, all students participating in activity based courses must have proper athletic shoes.

Locker Room

Students are expected to care for their locker room and to treat the facility with respect. Mistreatment and/or misbehavior in the locker room may result in the loss of a student’s privilege to use the locker room for a period of time or another disciplinary measure.

Exemption from Participation

All students, except those with permission from a medical doctor, will participate in physical education classes. Students must bring a note from parents if they are unable to participate in a class for medical reasons. A doctor’s certificate is expected if a student has health concerns that are persistent or of a long-term nature (more than two days).
