Overview
Healthy
Active Living Education, Grade 11, Open, PPL3O
Health and Physical Education
The focus
of this course is on physical activity. Through active participation in a
well-balanced enjoyable program (i.e., individual, dual, team, fitness,
interactive games), students will explore and continue to improve their
movement skills, personal fitness, and personal competence. Students will gain
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle
through the investigation of personal safety/injury prevention, healthy
sexuality, and mental health. Students will develop a commitment to lifelong
participation in enjoyable physical activity.
This
course provides an opportunity for teachers and students to integrate the body,
mind, and spirit in light of Catholic faith development. It provides a forum
where students can develop values and moral decision-making skills in
situations they will encounter as they grow as young adult Christian believers.
Improving the student’s quality of life will be addressed through the health
curriculum and physical activities. This will ensure growth in body, mind, and
spirit. Pressure on students from outside sources in a changing world will
require a strong foundation in critically understanding these forces and acting
with an informed conscience in light of gospel values regarding human
solidarity, compassion, and support. This course will help students to commit
to a lifelong physical and spiritual wellness program.
This
course is designed to meet the expectations through health and physical
activity. The structure of the course is such that it can be taught in a
variety of formats. Factors such as facilities, equipment, schedules, and
environmental conditions will determine program structure. Some options would
include one or two-week long units, (including fitness, individual/dual,
health), health and fitness days distributed weekly throughout the course of study,
three days per week of health with two days of fitness activities, etc. In the
unit overview charts, specific focuses have been given for activities in
appropriate units (i.e., mental health, sexuality, and personal safety and
injury prevention). However, within the units of individual and team
activities, specific sports are not suggested. The focuses of the units are
generalized and can be applied to a number of individual and team activities,
which the teacher deems appropriate.

Description
Students
develop an understanding of the physical fitness capabilities of their bodies.
Through active participation in a wide variety of interactive games and fitness
activities, students assess their health-related physical fitness in relation

programs, using the skills of decision-making, goal setting, and establishing
priorities. Students show responsibility for the safety of themselves and
others and model appropriate positive social behaviour (demonstrating Christian
leadership, encouraging others, striving for personal best, respect and good

Throughout
this unit students examine issues surrounding their own personal safety.
Students focus on relationship violence, demonstrating knowledge of the causes
and indicators of violence and the various types (i.e., physical, verbal,
sexual, and emotional). Students also acquire knowledge of the skills needed to
sustain healthy relationships (i.e., respect for others and for the dignity of
the individual). Students analyse leading causes of injury and assess solutions
and strategies for preventing and eliminating violence and injuries causing
death. Students are responsible for safe participation in all activities and
will analyse behaviours that minimize risk of violence and injuries to
themselves and others. Community resources will be examined that provide
assistance in emergency situations involving physical activities. Students will
create a public service announcement concerning personal safety or injury
prevention for the culminating activity.
