GENERAL STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

General student learning outcomes are broad statements identifying the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students are expected to demonstrate with increasing competency and confidence by the end of their Senior One physical education experience. These outcomes will be achieved through a variety of learning experiences contributing to physically active and healthy lifestyles.

  5. Healthy Lifestyle Practices: The student will demonstrate the ability to make informed decisions for healthy living related to personal health practices, active living, nutritional decisions, substance use and abuse, and human sexuality.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE

Consistent attendance and active participation in Physical Education allows the instructor to make an accurate assessment of your son/daughter. With this in mind, students are required to take an active role in all class activities. Failure to do that will result in the instructor not being able to assess the student. If students are in school they should be active in P.E. class. Please advise the instructor of any conditions that may override the student’s participation. Students will have the opportunity to develop fundamental sport skills, specific sport skills, as well as acquire knowledge of rules and strategies for a variety of team and individual games and activities. There will be a special emphasis on active participation as well as respectful and responsible behavior(s) towards fellow students and staff.

STUDENT DRESS POLICY

Students must have appropriate gym clothing such as gym shorts, t-shirt, or sweat pants, sweat shirt, socks, and gym shoes (non-marking soles). Failure to have the necessary gym attire will make it difficult for the student to earn marks in Physical Education. A strong emphasis will be placed on students coming prepared for class.

ELEMENTS OF RISK IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The risk of injury exists in every athletic activity. However due to the nature of some activities, the risk of injury may increase. Injuries may range from bumps and bruises to minor sprains/strains to serious injury. The safety and well being of the students is of utmost concern and all attempts are made to effectively manage as best possible the foreseeable risks inherent in all the physical activities. It is important that your child participate in a safe and comfortable manner in the physical education program. In your child’s best interest we recommend the following:
bulletAn annual medical examination
bulletNo Jewelry can be worn
bulletAppropriate attire and footwear for safe participation.
bulletEyeglass straps or contacts
bulletThe wearing of sun protection (sunscreen/hat) for all outdoor activities.
