Welcome back to the 2022-23 school year.

My name is Royal Carney. I have been the Bond Academy Physical Education teacher, and Athletic Director since 2007. I value hard-work, determination, mental strength, and a positive attitude. I make sure I bring this to my coaching and teaching, and I try my hardest to instill these values in the students I teach. This has been a challenging few months for all of us. The sedentary lifestyle the lockdown has brought upon us, has really highlighted the importance of physical fitness in our daily lives.

Classes will consist of cardiovascular and muscular strength activities, as well as attribute development classes. We will use equipment. When we do use equipment students will have their individual piece of equipment all class, ad after class every piece of equipment used will be thoroughly sanitized.

I want to create a holistic physical education program. One that builds a students confidence and self esteem. Working from the inside out, rather than the outside in. Mental and spiritual strength are aspects that will be focused on in our gym classes. I have become a big believer in teaching a student to develop a strong will power, positive thinking, and critical thinking skills under pressure through sports and fitness.

Our Elementary Physical Education Philosophy is based on our students trying their best and having fun. All Bond Academy students are encouraged to participate regularly in physical education classes and try-out for our sport teams. Physical Education can be a great way to develop character and life skills through the education of teamwork, fitness, and physical movement. It is our objective to make every student feel physically comfortable and confident with themselves. Through better fitness and body control, students can improve their athletic abilities and their overall health.

Our ultimate goal is to create better people through physical movement, health, and teamwork. If a student can begin to see that co-operation, sharing, selflessness, kindness, and compassion can be learned through physical movement and team sports then they will be on the path to success.

Here is the outline of the various units we will study throughout the school year. My program will follow this outline but may change as the school year progresses.
