In coordination with the Ministry of Education and Healthy Schools Roy Wilcox students are now incorporating 30 minutes of Daily Physical Activity, DPA, into their daily instruction. On Monday assembly the entire school partakes in the 30 minutes of DPA together with music and team leaders and the rest of the week the classes exercise in their classes.

Health Canada recommends that children and youth achieve 90 minutes of physical activity a day to ensure optimal growth. By offering K-9 students 30 minutes of activity daily and requiring grades 10 – 12 students to complete 150 minutes of physical activity a week, the Ministry of Education will help students fulfil that recommendation. Students are encouraged to be active for more than just the minimum daily activity time.
