The aim of this physical and health education course is to introduce boys to a variety of traditional sports and physical activities while focusing on skill development, game play and teamwork. Students will be provided the time and opportunity to go into greater depth on specific units of study with the goals of improving ability through practice, understanding through experience and fitness through play. As with all PHE 9 courses, the overarching hope is that students will leave this course healthier, more confident to take part in future physical activity and better able to identify those activities they are interested in pursuing further.
With regards to the health components of this course, students will cover topics pertaining to mental health, sexual health, consent, nutrition, informed decision making and healthy friendships/relationships.
