The
health and physical education program promotes healthy active living, and
enjoyment and regular, enthusiastic participation in physical activity. The courses
will help students understand how their personal actions and decisions will
affect their health, fitness, and well-being. All courses in this curriculum
address relevant health issues and provide students with a wide variety of
activities that promote fitness, the development of living skills, and personal
competence.
In
each course, students will develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed
to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and to build a commitment to lifelong
participation in physical activity. The focus on positive, responsible personal
and social behaviour in physical activity settings encourages students to make
safe and wise choices.
