The goal of the Physical Education programme is to instill healthy practices in students by linking Health with Physical Education. Students will gain skills and knowledge about fitness, sports and game rules. The programme provides an environment that promotes maximum participation of students in a wide range of traditional sports as well as in fitness training and conditioning.
At the Primary level, students participate in activities that will enhance their personal level of physical growth and development. Students are provided with opportunities which will develop physical skills, social interaction skills and a positive self image. In the Junior and Intermediate grades the students challenge themselves in their abilities; they develop self-discipline and gain an appreciation of co-operation and fair play. Participation in Phys. Ed. classes provides a significant number of learning opportunities in the development of personal attributes and interpersonal skills.
While we encourage complete enjoyment in team sports, we do recognize the importance of competitive teams. In order that we can provide our students with a competitive sports experience, Sommerville is an active member of the Private School Athletic Association (PSAA). Through this association, one-day tournaments are organized in various sports, with competition taking place between individual Private Schools.
