Sports
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board continues to encourage
healthy active living in all schools, and combines physical
activity with appropriate lifestyle choices.
Our students continue to be involved in both board wide and
intramural run sporting events and tournaments. We offer a
variety of physical activities including cross-country running,
track and field, basketball, volleyball, handball and soccer
both at the competitive and noncompetitive levels.
Obesity Prevention Action Plan
The Sudbury and District Health Unit along with the Sudbury
Catholic District Schools Board are working towards implementing
the overall steps necessary to ensure a better quality and
variety of food available at both elementary and secondary
schools.
This project addresses nutrition and physical activity with
different initiatives based on the needs of the schools and
available resources.
Active 2010
This program advocates increased opportunities for daily physical
activity at both the school and community level. This initiative
increases daily exercise levels and the health benefits that
come with it. The program helps maintain flexibility, increase
mobility and build strength and endurance.
Physical Fitness Challenge
This program encourages students to participate on a regular
basis in physical activities that maintain and improve physical
fitness levels. Students work towards improvement by participating
in vigorous activities for approximately 20 minutes daily.
This helps participants to recognize that the health of heart
and lungs is improved by physical activity.
