We give our students an avenue to participate in a wide range of sporting activities and help bring pride to the Brockton community through a competitive athletics program.
In physical education class our students don't just play games, they learn to observe and analyze performance, develop strategies and tactics, and understand the importance of being physically active for life-long fitness and health.
In the 21st Century, education is not just about the use and integration of technology, it is also about trying new strategies to engage all children in life-long physical activity. Our students are encouraged to live the IB learner profile and use sports to demonstrate how they can be principled, caring, reflective, open-minded and balanced communicators, risk-takers, inquirers and thinkers. These elements are the foundation upon which our school programs are built and are essential to the success of any team and any individual in a sporting situation.
More than 85 per cent of the student body is participating in our co-curricular activities. Our co-curricular programs encourage teamwork and fair play. They offer competitive play for all students and an opportunity to develop leadership skills through coaching and refereeing.
As an International Baccalaureate World School, we are keen to engage all of our community members and bring the community into our school. We have made partnerships with two local clubs: North Shore Archers and North Vancouver Fencing. These provide excellent opportunities for our students to participate in two alternative sports. Our budding archers are embarking on a junior Olympic program and the hope is, like our fencers, they will be able to transfer to the community club and compete at a higher level. We believe that it is important to offer variety in our sports programs and enable all students to try something new, team sports are not for everyone.
Brockton has a thriving athletics department led by two larger-than-life coaches who bring energy and professionalism to the athletics program.
Brockton has a very strong athletics program, drawing on the depth of experience and passion of the athletics department, and the huge support of parents and the wider Brockton community. The athletics department is building a robust foundation that boosts the confidence of students and in turn increases participation. In doing so Brockton is developing not only a tradition of excellence, but is providing a solid foundation for our students' physical and social development.
