PPL2O2
– Healthy Active Living Education, Grade 10, Open Semestered
0.5 CREDIT
The Grade 10 Health & Physical Education course is offered for a half-year (opposite to Civics) and
exposes students to a wide variety of activities so that students can play games that are fun and
participate for the love of being active. Students will have some choice in what activities will be
offered, understanding that their teacher wants to provide a positive experience for all. There is a four-
day self-defense course taught by a guest instructor. In this unit, students learn about being aware,
avoiding risky situations and learning how to defend themselves. In Health, students continue to learn
about staying healthy by revisiting topics on risk-taking, substance use, nutrition, stress management
and healthy sexuality. In Health there is a cumulative project of creating a “Teen Survival Kit” so that
students leave feeling like they’ve made personal connections to their own health and well-being. If this
is the last PE course you take, you will leave knowing how to lead an active, healthy lifestyle!

– Outdoor Education, Grade 11, Open
1 CREDIT
You don’t need to be an intense tripper, know how to cross-country ski or even know how to scale
a rock wall to be in the Outdoor Education course. You learn a lot of hard skills like tying knots and
centre flipping a canoe along with soft skills such as listening and creative problem solving through
initiative games. You will go on three trips: a canoe trip in September to Algonquin Park; winter
camping at Kandalore in January; and a trip to Wahanowin doing all the rock climbing and ropes
courses and trapeze in May. On these trips, you will live in tents, cabins and will even build and sleep
in a quinzee (like an igloo), which actually is a lot warmer than it sounds. The menu is chosen and
created by you so you know that it will always be good. In between preparing for the trips you will have
a short health unit. You will gain many close friends throughout the classes and the trips. You will have
unforgettable experiences and challenge yourself mentally and physically.
