Bedford has a longstanding tradition of offering unique programming to further engage Bedford’s young minds at the lunch hour. From drama to robotics, there is something for everyone and for all grades. Here is a sampling of what will be offered for 2017/18. Please check back often to see what’s new.
Intramurals are fun, inclusive and provide something for everyone! Bedford Park Lunchtime Intramurals are designed to get children excited about participating in physical activity! Intramurals offer students an opportunity to participate in many sports and activities on a recreational level at lunchtime. All skill levels are welcome. All that is needed is a desire to play. Intramural sports will be offered to students in Grades 1 to 8 at different times in the school year. Participation is optional. Intramurals take place during lunch periods in the gymnasium. Grade 7-8 students will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by overseeing/refereeing the intramural programme (with teacher assistance).
Mondays – Grade 4
Wednesdays – Grade 5
Bedford’s Chess Program is offered through an organization called Chess’n Math. The program is open to students SK-Grade 8. Students are grouped according to their levels (not necessarily grades). Parents are welcome to watch a class! Fall lessons will begin on Oct. 3rd and run for 10 weeks until Dec. 6th.

Robotics will be back this year and will gives students a chance to participate both competitively and non. Team competition will start in September and finish by Christmas. Non team, which is open to students interested in getting involved but not competing, will begin in January and finish in April.
This is a popular pick for the junior grades. Come and see what you can build with or without the instruction booklet! This program will be scheduled to begin October and will run through Spring.
