It is integral to the wholeness of a Collingwood four-stranded education, embracing academics, athletics, the arts and service.
From junior kindergarten to Grade 12, our students are taught by physical education specialist teachers, all of whom have been university team athletes and who continue to be high level athletes in a wide variety of sports. The coaching staff is unsurpassed in its excellence with a high number of ex-national, provincial or intercollegiate athletes.
The physical education curriculum builds from fundamental movement patterns, games and physical literacy in the younger years to skill development in a wide variety of sports. Across the curriculum, the focus is on participation, improvement, and skill acquisition.
Our fitness centre provides the ideal setting for our strength and conditioning program, with a class set of spin bikes and rowing machines and a fully equipped weight room.
We offer customized training for sports and high performance athletes. For those student athletes involved in high-level training, Collingwood works with students on an individual basis to customize and accommodate their training and sports schedules. Yoga, trail running, tennis, karate and our house intramurals at lunchtime help to instill healthy lifestyle habits.
From Grade 4 to Grade 12, we offer 17 different sports with a total of 55 teams. There really is a sport and team for everyone. Collingwood has a strong history in athletics, having won 20 provincial titles in team sports. We have won multiple individual gold medals in provincial swimming and wrestling. Our rowers have won five national titles. Our Grade 6/7 soccer and basketball teams have combined to win five Canadian Accredited Independent Schools National U13 titles.
Our senior sports teams travel the world, offering our athletes unique experiences that push them to greater heights on the playing field/court and enrich them as individuals.
With the completion of renovations at our Wentworth campus, our junior kindergarten to Grade 7 students now have access to an artificial turf field and two gymnasiums. The new gyms and artificial turf field at our Morven Campus (grades 8-12) will give Collingwood the best facilities on the North Shore.
Including the new full gymnasium at Wentworth, Collingwood students and coaches will have access to four full-size courts for games and practices. Go Cavs go!
