Campbell River School District has offered elite physical education classes in a number of sports for many years including Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer and Volleyball. Each Physical Education sports class will be led by an on-site Head Coach who will be supported by a number of guest coaches, many with national or international experience.
Sports Pathways abound at Carihi Secondary School where athletes can add these programs to their studies:
- Strength & Conditioning
In these physical education classes, students create and practice training routines specific to their sport; learn Olympic lifts; increase cardiovascular level. Students earn credit for PE 11 or 12. Classes occur during the school day. - Sports Science
Students earns credit in Physical Education 11 or 12 and Biology 12; effects of physical activity on health and performance; focus on movement, anatomy and how the various systems contribute to physical performance. Classes occur during the school day. - Sports Leadership
