One of the main goals of London Christian Elementary School is to encourage students to serve in
God's kingdom out of a love for God, their neighbours, themselves and God's
world. We aim to foster a community of caring which is reflected in all aspects
of the school environment. This care will reflect respect for God, His creation
and the school community and will model and provide opportunities for students
to practice what it means to live as followers of God. We also strive for this in the sports
program.
To expose as many students as possible to
character and community building through sports participation, a signup process
will be used to form teams. Aiming to avoid situations of exclusion and
isolation, we focus on open access, shared learning, skill development and team
building for the enjoyment of all students.
As an elementary school, we do not see it
as our role to only select students with certain aptitudes, specializing in a
certain sport or a specific position within that sport. Rather, we seek to give
students the opportunity to learn and to play all the sports available through
the sports program. As such, all grade eight students will be invited to
participate in team sports offered at LCES.
It is hoped that this will provide an enjoyable sports experience and
encourage the individual skills and team play.
It is important that students learn to
handle winning and losing appropriately. Given these opportunities within a structured
school environment allows for valuable learning experiences. The aim is to give all students experience in
developing skills, playing as a team, and to develop and use their athletic
gifts to the best of their potential. Occasions will be provided for students
to enjoy sports and to glorify God through a variety of athletic activities.
