Grade 10
Wellness 10 (Highly Recommended for the compulsory Physical Education credit)
Wellness 10 is offered as an integrated health education and physical education curriculum. Throughout this 100-hour program, students come to understand and appreciate how the components of wellness-physical activity, stress management, physical fitness, healthy eating, leisure, and relationships-are interrelated.
A six-step model, the Teaching-Learning Process, is a curricular design feature of Wellness 10. Activities are planned in each module to give students the opportunity to acquire, practice, and refine these skills. It enables them to pursue Wellness as a life-long behaviour pattern.
Wellness 10 is designed for a co-educational setting. The students in this course will have the opportunity to practice skills that will enable them to develop and maintain harmonious relationships with people of the same and opposite sex.
Wellness 10 provides first aid and CPR training as well as a ten-hour community volunteer component.
