Health and Physical Education Curriculum
This curriculum helps students develop an understanding of what they need in order to make a commitment to lifelong healthy, active living and develop the capacity to live satisfying, productive lives. Healthy, active living benefits both individuals and society in many ways.
- by increasing productivity and readiness for learning
- improving morale
- decreasing absenteeism
- reducing health-care costs
- decreasing anti-social behaviour such as bullying and violence
- promoting safe and healthy relationships
- heightening personal satisfaction
Research has shown a connection between increased levels of physical activity and better academic achievement, better concentration, better classroom behaviour, and more focused learning. Other benefits include improvements in mental health and wellbeing, physical capacity, self-concept, and the ability to cope with stress.
The expectations that make up this curriculum also provide the opportunity for students to develop social emotional learning skills and well-being. This practical, balanced approach will help students move successfully through elementary and secondary school and beyond. In health and physical education, students will learn the skills needed to be successful in life as active, healthy, and socially responsible citizens.
