Athletics
At SJK physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle are lifelong goals that go hand in hand. SJK boasts four immaculately groomed outdoor playing fields and a 15,000 square foot Athletics and Health Centre. This state-of-the-art facility features a double gymnasium, a combatives room, a full fitness centre, and four change rooms with shower facilities.
With varsity teams and athletic clubs there is something for just about everyone. Over 89 per cent of our students participate in the Varsity Program! All SJK students in the Middle and Upper schools are required to get involved in at least one extracurricular activity each school year. There are also numerous teams and clubs offered at the Lower School level. As a member of both CISAA (the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association) and OFSAA (the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association), SJK provides outstanding competitive opportunities for all student athletes.
Through their involvement on teams and in clubs, SJK students are constantly encouraged to stretch their personal limits. By facing the many challenges that go along with participating as a member of a team, students learn to savour earned victories and to grow from defeats. High expectations motivate students to recognize their full potential.
In a fast-paced world where stress is ever present, there is no question that a healthy body and healthy mind go hand in hand. At SJK we work hard to develop and maintain the balance that will bring success and happiness for years to come.
