Older students learn volleyball, flag football, soccer, basketball, softball, and track. Teams play noncompetitive and competitive sports with other schools. 

Outstanding sportsmanship and developing a habit of lifelong fitness and good health are primary goals of all these activities.​

Besides regular sports, our students play fun games that develop their athletic abilities. Check out the video below.

Physical Education

PROVISO: All lessons provided in non-Catholic textbooks are carefully screened to ensure they are appropriate for our students and do not in any way undermine Catholic teachings, morals, or values. Should a lesson be found lacking in the above conditions, it will not be presented to our students.

While spiritual education is of utmost importance, at St. Rose we also know the importance of physical education.Thus we're always looking for ways to keep the kids moving!  And they love it!


We're keen to develop small and gross motor skills for all students, including the little ones. We ensure four and five year olds learn to walk in a straight line and to hop, skip, and gallop!
