Physical Education & Wellness 8

Course Description

Physical Education and Wellness is an important part of helping every child grow into a healthy, confident, and active learner. Through games, movement, physical activities, and wellness learning, students build the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make healthy choices and enjoy active living. In a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment, students are encouraged to participate, challenge themselves, work with others, and celebrate their own progress.

Throughout the school year, students develop movement skills, learn about physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, and discover how healthy habits support success both in and out of the classroom. The Alberta Physical Education and Wellness curriculum helps students become physically literate, make informed decisions about their health, and build positive relationships with others. By working together with families, we hope to inspire students to develop lifelong habits that support healthy, active, and balanced lives.
