St. Bernardine School
Physical Education Program

    The main goal of the P.E. Program is to assist students in reaching their maximum potential that is possible. Each student will meet some measure of success in his or her own activity and activities with his classmates. Students will learn and practice skills as well as learn the fundamentals of games.
    The following example of floor hockey will give you an idea of how the students begin learning basic skills, build on those skills, and master understanding the game.

Younger Students: Learn how to hold a floor hockey stick and move a puck back and forth (stick handling).
Primary Students: Learn how to pass a puck and shoot at a goal.
Intermediate Students: Learn how to play the game with positions using offense and defense.
Junior High Students: play the game using all the fundamentals and add strategy that they create as a team.

Tips on helping Your Child Have a Successful P.E. Experience

• Eat breakfast

• Drink water 24-7

• Wear gym shoes that stay tied and fit well (zipper shoes always come unzipped)

• Follow the handbook for P.E. Uniform Code. (Please don't over dress. Multiple shirts are not necessary, the building runs warm and exercise raises the body temperature.)
