Course levels

There are 3 generic course levels in physical education, each offering a wide array of specific classes (sections). The levels are the courses that appear in students' course lists. To graduate, students need to take one class in each level (101, 102, 103). Levels 101 and 102 are pre-requisites for level 103.

• Level 109-101, Physical Activity and Health. 109-101 courses is to expose students to the relationship between health, physical fitness and an active lifestyle. As they cover the first nine chapters of the Physical Education Manual, students will be encouraged to analyze physical activity from the standpoint of lifestyle behaviours that promote health.
• Level 109-102, Physical Activity and Effectiveness. 109-102 courses encourage students to use a goal-oriented approach to improve the effectiveness of a physical activity, whether it is a sport, corporal expression or outdoor activity. After an initial assessment, students evaluate the physical activity in terms of their ability and attitudes; they set goals and try an approach aimed at improving their motor skills, their technique or their mastery of complex strategies. Finally, students are called upon to assess their progress.
• Level 109-103, Physical Activity and Autonomy. 109-103 courses encourage students to incorporate physical activity into their lifestyle to benefit their overall health and fitness level by helping them to manage the factors that influence physical activity. During class hours, students will apply the knowledge they acquired in the first two courses. Through sufficient and regular practice of a health-oriented physical activity, they plan, apply and evaluate a personal physical activity program. Students follow and validate their program under the teacher’s supervision. The hours allotted for personal work enable students to do the required assignments, practice their physical activity and develop a healthy lifestyle.
