Physical Education

Emphasizing fitness, confidence, teamwork, and wellness through movement concepts and organized activities. Supports CYO sports (basketball, volleyball, track, soccer), after-school clinics, and year-end Field Day.

Music and arts class activity at St. Perpetua

Music & The Arts

Music is integral at every grade level — from singing and movement for younger students to recorder, ukulele, and choir. As Yo-Yo Ma said, music must be vital for cultural literacy. The arts program nurtures individual talents through prayer services, Christmas pageant, spring musical, talent show, and Special Person's Day performances.
