JSP (Year 9 Non-competitive Sport)

Incorporating Junior Spartans Programme (JSP)

In recognition of Year 9 students finding it difficult to establish themselves within sport at Shirley Boys High School and fuelled by a desire to have all students active, the school has adopted a policy of compulsory involvement in physical activity for all Year 9 students. Students are required to commit to a minimum of two terms of physical activity in which they must attend 70% of all session in that term to pass.The emphasis will be on ‘playing the game’ and the social interactions made possible through physical activity. The activities are for Year 9 students only (JSP).

Students must commit to their chosen activities in the first two weeks of term one (post survey) and must select at least one activity beginning in either term one or two. Checks will be made to ensure that they are honoring their commitment.

The Year 9 Sports Program offers opportunities in both ‘in-school activities’ (JSP’s) and competitive involvement.
