Bruce Trail Public School
ATHLETICS
2019/2020 School Year
The purpose of physical education is to teach the whole student. Physical education provides the opportunity to teach students about movement, strategies, teamwork, problem solving and health related fitness. We strive to safely provide the means for the students at BT to enjoy physical activity, become more confident with their abilities, increase their knowledge of health related fitness, and help them find ways to continue to be physically active.
