• Extra-Curricular Philosophy

  All extra-curricular activities and programs must be consistent with the philosophy, goals, and objectives of the school. Guidelines for the effective administration and functioning of such activities and programs follow the guidelines put in the place by the Catholic Diocese of Peoria. These may be viewed on their website.

   

  1. To help develop "a sound mind in a sound body," a competitive athletic program is beneficial as it provides opportunities and environment for a corresponding progress in spiritual, moral, and mental values along with the development of physical and athletic skills. Caution must be exercised to avoid over-emphasis, which might become harmful to the individual or to the school as a whole.

  2. Participation by as many students as possible is the primary ideal. Competition should be taught as a Christian athlete's goal to be prized more than victory in a contest. The honorable “Athlete of Christ" will win by the manner of participation, rather than by the final score of a game.

  3. It will be beneficial to all if this philosophy extends beyond the students to each of us as spectators at the games.

   

  The school attempts to provide equal sports opportunities for boys and girls. Students may participate in these extra-curricular activities if they show effort in classes, have filled out the appropriate insurance waiver, and have an acceptable attitude. Coaches or teachers have the right to request that a student be suspended from sports activities, and the Principal will have authority to take the necessary action after consideration of the facts.
