Physical Education
February 6, 2026
The fundamental movement skill we teach our students are the foundation for maintaining an active lifestyle throughout life, from childhood to old age. During the month of January, the program focused on fitness and developing fundamental basketball skills for intermediate students, while younger students explored manipulation skills such as bouncing, throwing, and catching through simple movement experiences. In February, students will focus on developing striking skills through floor hockey and other related low-organized games and activities. As an extension of the Physical Education program, we offer our students the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of intramural activities based on their interest. These activities allow students to explore and practice movement skills, enhance personal fitness, and develop social skills.
Intramural and Club Activities: In February, students are participating in Inner-City Soccer League, Inner-City Basketball League, Winnipeg Youth Football Club, Skate Club, and Before School Open Gym. Please review Intramural Calendar for details.

Mulvey School Physical Education Program Overview
2025 – 2026 School Year
Introduction
Acquisition of movement skills is a key factor for students choosing to lead physically active and healthy lifestyles. Students are less likely to participate in physical activities and recreational sport if they have not learned the skills or experienced success in applying them. The fundamental movement skills that we teach our students in our program are the foundation or building blocks of an active lifestyle during adolescence.
