COURSE DESCRIPTION
Physical
Education 11 is designed for the student who has successfully completed their
Physical Education requirement in grade 10 and is interested in continuing
their development of athletic involvement and active participation. This course emphasizes on teaching games for
understanding within four major categories:
invasion/territory games, net/wall games, target games, and batting
fielding games. Through participation in a variety of sport opportunities,
students will be encouraged to be effective communicators, while working to
develop strong interpersonal, decision-making, coping, and self-management
skills. A small theoretical component
will focus on further understanding the four major categories of games as well
as the issues surrounding sport as it relates to gender, culture, and career
opportunities.
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS

class on time with proper gym gear and safely participate to the best of their
