PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTWelcome CIS Sports Program Considering the limited number of students at Cebu International School (CIS), the academic workload, the expense of travel, and the lack of availability of local venues the CIS program is quite full and services the entire school population whether on varsity or school teams, during club activities and/ or during house sports days. The Sports programs are designed with the School Wide Learning Goals and the development of the “whole-child” in mind. The CIS High School revolves around a “3-season” sports program, including: boy’s and girl’s volleyball (November ISAC meet), boy’s football and girl’s basketball (January ISAC meet), and girl’s football and boy’s basketball (April ISAC meet). The High School teams participate in a local area “Mini-League” which CIS runs for basketball and volleyball prior to, and in preparation for, the ISAC tournaments. Basketball and Volleyball are burgeoning programs at CIS with an ever-increasing number of participants. CIS placed first overall in the International Schools Activities Conference last year. The Conference has eight International Schools from all over the Philippines competing 3 times a year in 3 different sports at 3 different venues. The Middle School follows the same seasons with culminating events in November (Inter-Island Tournament- 13 and under) and April (Inter-Island Tournament- 11 and under) which are CIS initiatives. The Cebu Football association (CFA) runs local tournaments throughout the year which necessitates a year long football program at CIS. The football program runs in the background meshing into the seasonal and club programs. CIS also participates, annually, in the “Alaska Cup” which is the largest football tournament in the Philippines. On average CIS brings between 8 and 10 teams to the 240-team Alaska Cup. The Sports Program also encompasses after-school clubs program. Several of our clubs lead students to competitions across the country, including; Rock climbing, Swimming, Tennis, and others. CIS has amassed a respectable trophy list over the past years. The trophies are not the indicators of the sporting programs success; rather, the fact that our students participate in so many tournaments in such a wide variety of sports reflects a broad program. CIS encourages all children to play/ participate and, through policy, ensures that anyone interested gets opportunity to play/ participate. Even at the ISAC level, all players on the teams get to play in every game! The Physical Education program encourages and promotes mass participation. Students evaluated based on participation and improvement and not solely on their base skill level. The school and class sizes remain small enough that teachers are intimately familiar with their students and can motivate students on a personal level. This mindset encourages students to play on CIS representative teams which, in-turn, encourages socialization, sportsmanship, and skill level development. All the components of the Physical education/ Sports programs combine to create a successful and happy atmosphere in which the students are willing to explore their abilities in a safe and comfortable atmosphere. The students are set up for success and enjoyment which promotes positive self-esteem and creates and environment where the children may enjoy sports and health for life.
