Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

GRADE 10 PPL2O – Healthy Active Living Education, Grade 10, Open Semestered 1 CREDIT It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Canadian teens need 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day to reap the rewards. This course will help you to achieve it. The Grade 10 Health & Physical Education course is an extension of the Grade 9 course as it exposes students to a wide variety of group activities so they can play games that are fun and participate for the joy of being active. In September, the teacher will provide a survey to allow students to choose the activities they would most like to play and the course will be built around your choices. Some options include, but are not limited to, territory games (field hockey, soccer, Ultimate, football, basketball, Tchoukball), net/wall games (badminton, volleyball, table tennis, squash), personal fitness, dance, climbing, aquatics, games and Junior School coaching. Health units allow students to connect their experiences in Grade 10 to making good choices about healthy eating, mental well-being, substance abuse and addictions, and sexual health. The benefits of daily physical activity include improved overall fitness, a boost to mental health, the ability to cope with stress and improved academic performance in your other courses. Just do it!

GRADE 11 and 12 PPL30/PPL4O – Healthy Active Living Education, Grade 11 or 12, Open Semestered 1 CREDIT This is your chance to work in time for personal fitness, fun and play into your timetable.
