Phys. Ed. Program Goes to the Circus!

Our Phys. Ed. Teacher, Mr. McKinnon was chosen by our school division to study with the National Circus School! 

He has been studying all of the concepts online since January. This week, Mr. McKinnon, as well as the Phys. Ed. Teacher from Ecole Robert Browning - Mr. Vermeylen, and our school division's Phys. Ed./Health Coordinator - Mr. Ross, are in Montreal to study all of the practical skills necessary to implement some circus techniques into a Phys. Ed. program. Research has shown that using these 'circus skills' in a Phys. Ed. program more effectively improves students' overall fitness levels than with a regular program. We strongly believe in helping our students to be the healthiest people they can be. So, we are really excited to find out what Mr. McKinnon has learned!
