Cape Breton Highlands Education Centre/Academy believes that extracurricular activities are not separate undertakings but rather extensions of good, educational programs. Such activities help students develop leadership qualities through their involvement: learning to set goals, organize activities, and coordinate group efforts as they put their plan into action. Through the participation in activities and programs students learn self-discipline, develop self-confidence and acquire a solid understanding of the importance of cooperation and team work in attaining goals.
Sports provide support for student well-being, achievement and success.
School sports offered at CBHEC/A include:
- Soccer
- Cross Country Running
- Basketball
- Softball
- Table tennis
- Golf
- Track and Field
- Volleyball
- Hockey (when there is an option to combine with another school)
