Physical Education Curriculum

Saint Rose Catholic School uses the Diocesan Physical Education curriculum and incorporates Physical Best in our lessons. The Diocesan Physical Education Curriculum exposes children to a wide variety of activities in a process rather than product oriented format.

Saint Rose has a certified Physical Education teacher. Effort, Attitude, and Respect are the values chosen by the Physical Education department to emphasize in the Physical Education Curriculum.

Physical Best activities help students learn the “why” of physical fitness and activities. Our program objectives include:
