Extractions: Physical Education Department Athletic schedules PHILOSOPHY The Physical Education Staff believe that a program that promotes physical, emotional and social well being enhances the quality of our students lives. Each student can achieve success regardless of size, maturity, coordination, body type or any other physical attributes. We as a department are concerned with helping our students understand the importance of Physical Education and to develop a commitment to activities and fitness that will help them create a healthy lifestyle for themselves. PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Our Physical Education Department has implemented a "lifetime interpersonal skills curriculum" which is reinforced daily. Some of the interpersonal skills that we emphasize are: respect, encouragement, courtesy and accepting personal difference. These skills have a positive effect on our school environment. Each class stresses achievement in the development of personal fitness and in participation in team and individual sports. Instruction is given in fundamental skills, rules, safety, and strategy pertaining to a wide variety of sports. Students are encouraged to develop effective skills and to learn to play cooperatively in team situations. Emphasis is place on class cooperation with peers and instructors as well as with individual achievement. Practice with basic skills involved in each activity is stressed before students become involved in actual play. A daily program of warm-up calisthenics helps to develop agility, strength endurance, cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility of joints, balance, spatial awareness, and sequencing of body movements. Specific drills are practiced involving eye hand and eye foot coordination and visual perception.

Ireland and The Games Athletics Aquatics Badminton Bocce ... Judo With 18 official sports and three demonstration sports, it's easy to understand why the 2003 Special Olympics World Games is the biggest international event - sporting or cultural - yet staged in Ireland. From athletics, as with the summer Olympics the core of the games, to Bocce, the Italian version of bowling, there are events to challenge the full range of sporting skills and abilities. Of the 18 official sports, 14 are based around individual entries, while the remaining four are classified as team sports. The three demonstration sports are kayaking, pitch and putt, and judo, and are likely to be included as official sports in the next games. Athletes may participate in only one sport, and can only enter events appropriate to their level of training. Just like the summer Olympics, it is the taking part and not the winning and losing that is emphasised, although there are awards from first through to fourth, presented as gold, silver, bronze and the fourth place ribbon.
