At Lord Dufferin Junior and Senior Public School, we pride ourselves on our robust physical education program, which stands as a beacon of inclusivity and diversity. Our program goes beyond mere exercise; it fosters an environment where every student, regardless of background or ability, can thrive. Participation in our diverse range of activities not only promotes physical health but also significantly enhances mental health and well-being. We utilize cooperative games and team-building activities to foster character development and promote overall well-being among our students. Through carefully crafted programming and a variety of activities, we ensure that every student finds their niche and excels. Our approach to physical education is rooted in equity, ensuring that all students have access to resources and opportunities to participate fully. We exemplify cultural responsiveness by fostering inclusivity and equity. For instance, we proudly developed a mixed-ability Indigenous student baseball team, which participated in the Jays Care Spring Classic, showcasing our commitment to celebrating diversity and providing equal opportunities for all our students. We celebrate the richness of our diverse student body by incorporating cultural elements into our activities, creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where everyone feels valued and represented. At Lord Dufferin school, physical education isn't just about staying fit; it's about fostering a sense of belonging, respect, and unity among all our students.
