PHYSICAL & HEALTH EDUCATION 

The learning standards of Physical and Health Education (PHE) 9 are designed to develop educated citizens who have the knowledge, skills, and understandings they need to be safe, active, and healthy citizens throughout their lives. PHE curriculum focuses on competencies that support life-long learning— competencies that can contribute to personal lives and career aspirations. An underlying principle of the PHE curriculum is that students must be active in creating, assessing, and applying what they learn to their daily lives. The focus on lifelong safety, physical activity, and health is valuable for both the individual student and for society as a whole. All PHE students are required to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the activity.  Proper clothing consists of shorts, T-shirt and running shoes (indoor and outdoor footwear); optional sweat/track suit for outside activities.  Due to safety and health concerns, students without proper 

PE clothing and footwear will not be allowed to participate in the activity.  Community facilities (e.g. Ron Andrews Rec. Centre) will be used for some activities that our facilities may not provide. Alternate assignments and/or activities that address the learning standards can be provided.
