Student Resources

We’ve got your back! Maintaining or building positive mental health is an important part of eLearning right now. When you have a few free minutes, check out these interactive websites, apps, and videos.

Physical activity helps healthy growth and development. It: gives us energy, decreases stress, makes us stronger, and prolongs independence as we age. Regular physical activity in childhood develops: strength, heart health, and bone density. Many of the activities and behaviours listed in the links below are still possible while social distancing. Check them out!


Finally, check out Mr. Ferguson’s home work out video – follow along, and stay active!
