Providence Catholic School’s Physical Education department believes that in order to mold young women into learners, leaders and women of faith and justice, a solid foundation in physical education is imperative to build each student’s capacity for learning. Throughout the Physical Education program, students will learn to care for the mind, body and spirit through the teaching and practice of physical activity and wellness behaviors. Students will develop the basic skills needed for a life of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. This department believes that health and wellness education must continue outside of the classroom and school, so community activities and communication with parents is important and must take place routinely through the department’s community activities.
