HS Program of Studies

PHILOSOPHY

 

We believe that regular physical activity contributes to good health, functional movement, and lifelong well-being. Physical Education makes a significant and unique contribution to the student's overall education by providing opportunities to develop movement skills, knowledge, attitudes and leadership that the student will find useful throughout his or her lifetime. Challenging the student to cooperatively work and play with their peers in team building situations is at the heart of the program. 

Student learning is enhanced through active, physical participation in a class environment that provides enjoyable and successful experiences for all students whilst engaging in a diverse range of activities. Fundamental to this approach is the development of age-appropriate skills and activities that best facilitate student learning and skill acquisition.

The CAC Physical Education Department will provide a balanced and varied curriculum that will

encourage students to: LEARN, EXPLORE and HAVE FUN as they:

… acquire knowledge of sports

… acquire health & fitness understanding

… be challenged

… demonstrate CAC’s core values

… actively participate in enjoyable PE lessons
