We believe that Physical and Health Education is a critical factor in the healthy development of our students here at Boyne Public School. We are dedicated to the growth of our students.
From PHE Canada:
- Physical education is the only subject that provides students with opportunities to be physically active which is a critical component of holistic health - physical activity is a valuable approach to supporting the mental health of young people (Halliday, Kern & Turnbull, 2019).
- Health education is the only subject that includes outcomes targeted at positive mental health; teaching students about stigma, strategies to support positive mental health and resources and supports to cope with mental health issues.
- PHE differs from other subjects, as the curriculum encourages opportunities to develop social and emotional skills such as communication, leadership, cooperation, self-awareness, and self-management.
- “Arguably, physical education class is one of the best contexts to develop social and emotional competencies” (Ciotto & Magnon, 2018).
- Education can’t be considered “whole-child” unless it includes education of the physical.
- “…physical education is important because movement is joyful, pleasurable, provides intrinsic satisfaction, and can be personally meaningful and central to the human experience” (Blankenship & Ayers, 2010)
