All Junior and Senior students are expected to take a full and active part in lessons. Any pupils who are recovering from injury will take part in lessons to the best of their ability. Where they are unable to take part they can assist, observe or continue with their rehab exercises. Pupils will also be supported in their rehabilitation programs before and after school and during lunch time. At the beginning of each year, each student will undertake a survey on sports and activities they perform or would like to perform over the coming few months.
At St John’s College we believe in a tailored approach to Physical Education where each student’s physical needs and abilities are take into account. Each senior cycle student receives an individual training program which is in conjunction with their abilities.
At St John’s College we are huge advocates of using ICT in a PE setting, we do this through performance analysis technology such as Dartfish and Coaches Eye, this allows visual and kinesthetic learners to immerse themselves in PE in a way which was not previously available in traditional based PE environments.
All pupils will take part in physical activities provided by the school, unless there are any medical reasons for not doing so. At entry the school should be informed of any important medical conditions. Pupils wishing to be excused from PE should send a letter stating the reason and duration they wish to be excused for. Non participants should still bring in sports kit. They can help with equipment, umpiring, reciprocal teaching, controlling small sided games or be involved in observation, planning or evaluation.
