It also allows students to express themselves physically and via movement. The  St. Margaret’s Primary School PE program emphasizes physical activity. Pupils can build a favorable relationship with physical activity through participation in the PE program.

The Applied Learning Program at SMPS focuses on students’ capacity to use their communication abilities in various situations, from daily interactions in the classroom to speaking successfully in front of a larger audience in school and on public platforms. The program focuses on the four primary areas of communication skills: physical, verbal, cognitive, social, and emotional communication.
