My Students

Our school is an amazing place full of incredibly talented students. We are a performing arts based school, which supports our students in pursuing their creative endeavors. We have dancers, singers, musicians and even actors and actresses from every walk of life. The guiding principles of character and leadership are ever present in my students. To say I have both compassionate and motivated students would be an understatement.

My Project

This playground equipment will enable students to access PE curriculum and games with a variety of equipment at their disposal. Having ample equipment will give students an opportunity to try new sports and or activities that would otherwise be unavailable. When students have choices in games, they tend to expand their horizons and give a new sport or activity a try.

During Physical Education class, we introduce new sports and activities to students, but time can sometimes be limited, so we look to other opportunities such as recess and intermission for students to look at new sports and or activities and participate in them at their own pace.
