Physical Activity / Athletics


We believe that a well-rounded programme of physical education and activity is essential for the health and well-being of our students.

At Selkirk Montessori, children in grades 1-4 take turns starting their days with 15 minutes of movement to music (Move and Groove) in the gym. Teachers find that when they start their academic day, they are fresh, focused and ready to learn.

Students participate in physical education activities with specialists Bree Tibble (Grades 1-2) and Brian Empey (Grades 3-8). They learn skills for a variety of sports, including basketball, volleyball, badminton, soccer, hockey, football -- just to name a few. 

Students in grade 1-4  enjoy swimming and grades 5-8 take part in recess games and sports as part of their physical activity program. We take advantage of the Gorge Waterway to enjoy rowing and kayaking during the year as well.  Brian and Bree coordinate track and field and sports days for the students. 

Extra curricular club activities at Selkirk include cross country running, basketball, badminton, soccer, volleyball, floor hockey, swimming and dance.  We take part in cross country running, basketball, volleyball and badminton tournaments with other local independent and public schools throughout the year.
