PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION 10

Physical education focuses on the development of physical literacy, personal awareness and responsibility, and health literacy. Students can expect to participate in a variety of individual and team activities with a focus on both traditional and non-traditional games. Some of these activities may take place off campus at some grade levels. These outings are mandatory and may require students to come to school early or stay late. Students will receive health education classes that focuses on the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs related to health literacy and encompasses a number of important health and safety topics, including nutrition, prevention of illness and injury, decision-making skills, healthy relationship skills, mental well-being, sexual health and substance use. PHED 10 is a graduation requirement and must be completed by all students. External sport credentials such as Athlete 10, which is typically awarded for provincial or national level sport competition, do not fulfill the PHED 10 graduation requirement.
