The aim of the Jasper Place physical education program is to enable individuals to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Active living through physical education:

• creates a desire to participate
• focuses on lifetime activities promoting health-related fitness for life
• is about physical activity, and the nature, form, frequency and intensity of the activity are relative to each person's ability, needs, aspirations and environment
• places physical activity within a broader perspective of total fitness and well-being that encompasses the entire experience of movement - physical, mental, emotional and social dimensions
• is enhanced through opportunities to participate in such activities as intramural and interschool athletics and community-based sport and recreation activities.
