Healthy Active Living – Grade 12 Personal Fitness
Rationale:
The focus of this course is on vigorous physical activity through advanced resistance training in Ascension’s state of the art fitness facility.
Through active participation and goal setting in a well-structured inclusive environment, students will explore and continue to improve
their movement skills and attitudes needed to maintain a healthy active lifestyle. Through the investigation of skeletal and muscular
anatomy, basic physiology, and nutrition and digestion, along with taking calculated risks and learning how to develop fitness programs
and setting reasonable short-term and long-term goals, students will develop a commitment to lifelong participation in enjoyable physical
activity. Students will also gain fundamental insight on designing custom programs and students will explore various careers in health
science

Student Expectations
1. Students are expected to be punctual, respectful and give their best effort in this course. There are always students on waiting lists
who are trying to get into this course. If you are not punctual, respectful or consistently not giving your best effort, then you may be
moved out of this course for someone trying to get in.
2. Students are expected to participate in all activities. Since marks are calculated on participation, it is important to let your teacher
know when you are going to be absent (due to extended illness, parental approved appointment, or school related activity). It is the
student’s responsibility to know that they cannot make up application time in the weight room.
3. If class participation is not possible due to an illness, condition or injury, you must provide a medical note dated and signed by your
physician stating such concerns. In this situation, modified participation and/or assignment will be distributed to the student on a
daily basis.
4. You will be given advance notice for all written assessments. Make up assessments will be permitted ONLY with legitimate
medicine absences or family emergencies and must be supported by a written note from your physician and/or parent. Students
are responsible for writing the misses assessment upon the first day of returning (unless extenuating circumstances arise; which
then it will be individually arranged by your teacher).
5. You are responsible for your own safety as well as others. Therefore, you are required to:
 Use the gymnasium or the equipment only when supervised by your teacher
 Remove all jewelry (i.e. rings, necklaces, earrings) when in PAF class.
 Report any defective or malfunctioning equipment immediately. Do not try use it or fix it.
 Practice personal hygiene (i.e. regular showering, applying deodorant, etc).
 Do not bring any property of value in the weight room. The teacher and/or the school will not be responsible for lost or stolen
items. Leave this property at home or in your locker.
 Conduct yourselves maturely and properly in the weight room. You will be removed from the class if you are deemed a
hazard to others and/or yourself. NOTE: the weight room is monitored by closed circuit television to ensure the safety of all
individuals.
6. If you choose to bring valuables to school, then leave them in your locker. DO NOT BRING ANYTHING OF VALUE TO THE
WEIGHT ROOM. All additional clothing and bags should be left in your locker. The teacher and the school are NOT responsible
for items that were lost or stolen in the weight room.
7. Students are expected to RESPECT the teacher(s), fellow peers and the equipment. Disrespect of any kind will not be tolerated.
8. Equipment must be handles with proper care to ensure yours and others safety. Any vandalism to school equipment and/or other
people’s property will be dealt with at the administrative level.
9. Students will dress appropriately for weight training. Students will not be permitted to wear or bring with them:
 No jeans, skirts, dress pants
 No dress shoes, sandals, slippers, boots, or bare feet
 No hats, jewelry, or any accessories such as belts, etc.
 No shorts that are too short, tight, loose or ripped,
 No shirts that are too short, tight or ripped.
 No drinks such as coffee or carbonated beverages such as colas.
 No food whatsoever
Students are permitted to wear and/or bring with them:
 Track pants or appropriate shorts worn at the waist and hips NOT the knees or thighs. No one wants to see your sweaty
underpants.
 Running shoes with socks
 Towel to wipe down machines
 Water bottle or energy drink
 Appropriate t-shirts
 Weight Training Gloves
Note: You must bring a change of clothes on civvies days. You cannot work out in your civvies.
10. Finally, students are to meet in the main gymnasium on the first floor prior to every class. The teacher will instruct you to either get
changed and meet outside room 211 (weight room) or go to the computer lab in the library to work on an assignment or go to a
vacant classroom for a theory lesson. There is no designated health room. Therefore, in order to know where you are supposed to
go, you must meet in the main gymnasium on time for daily instruction.
