My child plays a club sport outside of school. Can this qualify to meet the School’s PE 11 course requirement?
No. Each PE 11/12 course offered at SMUS covers specific learning outcomes outlined by the Ministry of Education curriculum requirements. Club sport does not cover the curriculum required for course credit.
If a student plays a sport at the provincial or national level, they can get Athlete Credit toward graduation, but this does not cover PE 11/12 curriculum learning outcomes. They can see their Academic Advisor for information about obtaining this credit.
