Welcome to High School Physical Education

Creating happy, healthy, knowledgable and engaged individuals

Students are expected to bring their full ISM PE kit to PE lessons, this includes an ISM PE shirt, ISM PE shorts, socks and appropriate footwear for the facilities that we are using.

Students are expected to check emails and google classroom on a regular basis as this is where all class info and assignments will be posted. 

Meet the Team

Please feel free to contact us on the above email addresses if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's progress in school. We are looking forward to a great year of learning with your sons and daughters. Please don't hesitate to contact us with your questions. 

My name is Fran Howarth and I am the Program Leader for Physical Education. This is my 11th year at ISM and 7th as PL. I grew up in Germany but I am originally from UK. I spent the summer in the UK with my family. We stayed active as a family by going on hikes, cycling and going to Center Parcs. I have a daughter in Kindergarten at ISM and my son is 2.5. We are looking forward to a fun and active year in HS PE.

Kia ora, my name is Jackson Pearce and this is my 7th year teaching at ISM. I am from New Zealand and love to be active. My favourite sports are golf, rugby, cricket, snowboarding and basketball. I try to instil a passion for movement in all my students. 

Here are a few videos of my summer holidays. I travelled around South East Asia with my family and friends. We visited Sumatra, Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Bali. 

I have a wife who is the PL of Grade One and my daughter Penelope is in Grade Two. 

Hello! My name is James Doble and this is my 12th year at ISM. 

I'm originally from a small village in the Cotswolds in England. The county hosts an annual cheese rolling competition and also has a formidable rugby team. Like others in the department I have participated in most sports, but my favourite sports are cricket, snowboarding and rugby. Over the summer I completed a 6 day Paramotoring course learning how to fly solo. I'm excited to see the new batch of Bearcats this school year! 

Hi ISM, my name is Mike Holton and I'm excited to be starting my 1st year teaching at ISM. My wife Heather Kea (a PE teacher in MS) and our daughter Liv are happy to be Bearcats. I grew up in Canada, where I spent my summer, but I've also had the privilege of teaching all over. Being a Canuck, I love ice hockey, skiing and snowboarding in the winter but I really look forward to rugby and wilderness tripping in the warmer months. I can't wait to meet you in the gym, on the pitch or in the fitness room!

Howdy! Coach Respecki here in my 12th school year here at ISM originally from Houston, Texas! Along with Grade 9 PE, I teach Personal Training and Adapted Physical Education.  

I coach the Girls Cross Country Team with my husband who teaches HS Art here as well! Sports are my passion, especially triathlon, open water swimming, and running. Another passion is advising the Inclusion Revolution Club and working with organizations like Special Olympics Pilipinas, SENIA, and Paralympic Athletes here in the Philippines! Looking forward to an awesome year for the BEARCATS !!
