Esports
Scholastic Esports is one of the fastest growing areas in education today! As a NASEF Scholastic Fellow, and co-founder of the Ontario School Esports Association, I am super excited to be leading the scholastic esports program at Holy Family Catholic School, the first school in our district to be implementing such a program!

Esports is one of the fastest growing areas of competitive sports and entertainment in the world, and involves far more than just playing video games! Similar to traditional physical sports, esports offer competitive gaming in organized and supervised environments.
Scholastic esports programs offer opportunities for students to develop skills in collaboration, problem-solving, leadership, communication, critical thinking, and social-emotional regulation while exploring related career fields and pathways, all while having fun!
Our esports lab is home to 20 Alienware Aurora R13 gaming desktops, which we use for all of our esports competitions, but also for learning Twinmotion and Unreal Engine.
