physiological systems are a complex interconnected framework between the brain and nervous system. The purpose of
this course is to give students a clear picture of how those physiological systems work together to maximize human
performance. Students will use their knowledge of various aspects of exercise science such as biomechanics,
kinesiology, fitness testing, injury treatment and prevention, and nutrition to develop a greater understanding of how the
interaction between brain and nervous system leads to mastery in high performance activities.

GRADE 11 IN SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION - PE30F
This curriculum encourages “physically active and healthy lifestyles for all students” by providing planned and balanced
programming to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes for physically active and healthy lifestyles. Your child will
receive a Complete or Incomplete designation at the end of the grade 11 course, rather than a percentage grade. This
will not be used in calculating the grade point average. The course consists of two major areas of focus: the Core content and the Physical Activity (PA) Practicum. The Core content of the grade 11 PE/HE curriculum consists of a minimum of 25% of the course. This content must be delivered IN-class and is teacher-directed. In grade 11, the content includes learning outcomes related to Fitness Management, Social Impact of Sport, Mental-Emotional Health and Substance Use and Abuse Prevention.
The in-class component (75hours) involves teacher-directed instructional time focusing on moderate to vigorous physical
activity. NOTE: Parents/guardians will be required to review the student’s physical activity plan and sign a Parent Declaration and Consent Form acknowledging their approval of the chosen activities and acceptance of the responsibility for risk management, safety, and supervision. Parents/guardians will also be required to verify the entries of the student’s physical activity log through a sign-off procedure.
RECREATION MANAGEMENT AND ATHLETIC LEADERSHIP - PE41G
This course is designed to help students develop their individual and group management skills through a wide range of
real-life situations and experiences. The goal is to become more confident in planning, organizing and administering
activities in their school and community.
When students take ownership and assume the responsibilities of their own learning and organization, they develop the
necessary leadership skills that will make them successful in future pursuits. With a noticeable lack of quality leaders,
qualified coaches and officials in all communities the hope is to provide more students with an opportunity to develop the
confidence and interest as future leaders to stay involved in coaching, teaching, officiating and sports administration after leaving school.

Sustainable Wilderness Education program is committed to developing passionate and skilled individuals who care aboutmaking a difference for sustainable outdoor environments. Through the development of a deep appreciation for the
Earth and the importance of sustainability, students will attain the skills and attitudes needed to enrich both the lives of
themselves and others. The aim of the Sustainable Wilderness Education course is to allow students to develop the skills and attitudes necessary to appreciate, enjoy, feel comfortable and if necessary survive in the Canadian outdoors.
