Health and Physical Education<\/h1>\n

Healthy active living courses are essential components to a child\u2019s education.\u00a0 Being physically active offers so many benefits to not only a child\u2019s health, but also to their overall education.\u00a0 According to the Health and Physical Education curriculum 2010, healthy, active living benefits both individuals and society in many ways \u2013 for example, by \u201c increasing productivity and readiness for learning,\u00a0 improving morale, decreasing absenteeism, reducing health-care costs, decreasing anti-social behaviour such as bullying and violence, promoting safe and healthy relationships, and heightening personal satisfaction\u201d.<\/p>\n

The heart of each program is active participation.\u00a0 It is imperative that students are provided the opportunity to be active on a daily basis.\u00a0 Students are taught movement skills and game strategies throughout a wide variety of activities.\u00a0 Students are given the opportunity to experience a range of activities, from net\/wall games to target, territory and striking\/fielding activities.\u00a0 The principles of fitness and wellness are reinforced throughout the curriculum. It is the perspective that by exposing students to an abundance of opportunities, they will gain knowledge and wisdom that will allow them to be active for life. Students are also taught to be physically active in a safe environment.<\/p>\n

An important core value in our physical education is the development of character.\u00a0 This includes \u201cpromoting the education values of striving to achieve one\u2019s personal best, equity and fair play, respect for diversity, sensitivity and respect for individual requirements and needs, and good health and well-being\u201d (Health and Physical Education curriculum, 2010). Students are taught goal setting and decision making skills, the importance of healthy relationships, mental health awareness, personal safety, healthy eating, substance use and abuse.\u00a0 These health components further provide students with the awareness to lead fulfilling, active and healthy lifestyles.<\/p>\n
