Our high school offers limited facilities for activities but even with this slight handicap, the pupils are taught many team games such as volleyball, basketball, softball and dodgeball. Individual achievement is also measured in the physical ' education classes through a series of skills. Some of the intramural activities are tennis, archery, basketball, and bowling. The course in First Aid teaches the students how to give immediate and temporary aid to the victim of a sudden accident or illness. This course is offered to the junior boys and girls. They are taught the application of tourniquets, artificial respiration, location of the different pressure points and the manner of transporting bodies. DR.
