COURSE DESCRIPTION
The health and physical education curriculum has been designed to provide learning
experiences that will help students realize their potential in life. Students will develop:
– an understanding of the importance of physical fitness, health, and well-being, and the
factors that contribute to them;
– personal commitment to daily vigorous physical activity and positive health behaviours;
– the skills and knowledge they require to participate in physical activities throughout
their lives.
The Large Group Activity will have a soccer focus specifically designed for students who
wish to pursue soccer at a post-secondary level at the university/collegiate, competitive, or
professional levels. Students will continue to explore and improve their technical, tactical,
and game play ability and understanding. A fitness component emphasizing health and
skills related fitness will be integrated into the course using community facilities and
resources. Students will gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to maintain a
healthy lifestyle through the investigation of personal safety/injury prevention, nutrition, and
mental health.

Students demonstrate proficiency and improvement in the technical/skills
related components of soccer and apply appropriate movement principles
to refine and improve these movement skills. Technical skills such as

Students will assess their personal fitness levels through activities that
emphasize the health and skills related components of fitness. Students
will design a personal fitness program intended to address self-identified
goals in order to improve their personal fitness level.

Heath topics include injury prevention and safety, nutrition, and mental
health specifically from a sports focus. Students will understand the
importance of warm up and cool down periods, learn how to identify and
treat injuries specifically related to sports. Students will also explore the
idea behind the “energy balance equation” and its value for athletes and
consider the concerns of health care professionals about the use of
dietary supplements. Students will develop an understanding of the
impact of stress on an individual’s health through exploration of
physiological responses and the positive and negative effects of stress.

through the use of appropriate strategies and stress management
techniques.

Students are expected to behave as responsible young adults.
They should be diligent in their effort and studies and follow the direction and discipline set by the teachers.
They should strive for personal achievement and excellence through full and honest effort.
They should respect themselves, their teacher, their fellow classmates and personal and school property. No
taunting, rude behaviour, or any put downs of any kind will be tolerated.

Attendance, Success, and the EAGLE Promise.

We, in the Ascension Physical Education and Health Department, believe that regular attendance and punctuality
of students is vital for success in obtaining a credit. We want to help you achieve your goals. But we can't help
you if you are not in class. So, plan to attend all classes, be on time and you will have a rewarding educational

Legitimate Absences and /or Non-Participation
An absence or non-participation is considered legitimate if a student had a good reason not to attend or participate,
as defined by the Education Act and your teachers.
In all cases students will require some form of documentation to explain their absences or non-participation,
usually in the form of a doctor's note, an official court document or a note from a parent or guardian.
In the case of non-participation or an absence for more than three days you MUST obtain a medical certificate or
official documentation stating the reason for your absence or non-participation.
If an absence is not justified, students will not be allowed to make up work, tests and assignments missed until
such time that a student can justify that absence.
Students are responsible for work missed and assignments given during a legitimate absence.
Class Lates
Students are expected to come to class on time.
Arriving late disturbs the class, is disrespectful to the teachers, interferes with the learning process and hinders
student's progress. Consequently, tardiness will not be tolerated.

Students who are late will:
(a) Lose class marks and not be allowed to participate in class
(b) Be disciplined by subject teacher
(c) Have their parents contacted
(d) Be referred to administration for disciplinary reasons if problem persists.
Legitimate in-between class late will only be accepted by a note from a teacher or an administrator.

of your classes; follow all of the school policies on behavior, uniform, and
attendance. A CONTRACT will be given to each student that must be read and

intrinsic factors. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve your goals and
reach your full potential.
