Welcome to PE!
The Physical Education (8, 9, or 10) program is designed to provide students with the opportunity and tools to acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to attain a healthy
lifestyle and develop their potential; physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Throughout the course, students will engage in a variety of learning activities including team and individual skill development, personal fitness goals/endeavors, and participation in individual and team sports/games. Lessons are designed to promote health and wellness, fitness, develop fundamental and sport specific movement concepts, improve knowledge of motor skills, encourage active participation and leadership, and foster an environment of positive self-esteem.
To benefit from and be successful in Physical Education, students must actively engage and participate in the learning process and work to develop an inclusive appreciation and active interest in health, wellness, fitness, and physical activity. These are the expectations for a successful completion of the PE program:
- Students are to attend all classes and be on time.
- Students are expected to bring and wear full PE strip (appropriate footwear and clothing required; changing for and after PE is recommended – lockers provided)
- Students must write all quizzes and complete assignments (it is the student’s responsibility to make these up immediately upon return).
- Students are expected to participate in every activity to the best of his/her ability. Students are expected to help and encourage classmates whenever possible, as well as assisting with the setting up and taking down of equipment.
- Students are to engage in cooperative, supportive, and respectful behaviour to create and facilitate the best possible learning environment for everyone.
