Curriculum

The expectations for health and physical education are organized into three distinct but related strands – Active Living, Movement Competence, and Healthy Living. Integral to expectations in all these strands is a further set of expectations. These are the living skills – the personal, interpersonal, and critical and creative thinking skills that are essential to the achievement of expectations in the three strands. The living skills expectations are to be taught and evaluated in conjunction with learning in each of the strands; they cannot be addressed in isolation.

Active Living - helps students develop the skills and knowledge needed to participate regularly and safely in physical activity, while enjoying being physically active and learning how to develop and enhance their own personal fitness. Active living is broken down into 3 sub-categories (see below).

Movement Competence - helps students develop the movement competence needed to participate in physical activities through the development of movement skills and the related application of movement concepts and movement strategies. More information can be seen below.
