Physical Education 10 Overview

Career & Life Management (CALM) Overview

This exciting opportunity is available to all students and is intended to provide learning opportunities for students with a passion for athletics, wellness and sports. You may wish to improve performance, challenge yourself physically and/or potentially pursue a career in the athletic field. This will be completed through a combination of theory and practical outcomes.

Modules include elements such as nutrition, goal setting and mental training, all of which will center on sport and the application of sport into life both inside and outside of the school. This material will review topics and issues not traditionally present in the regular physical education program.

This co-ed learning opportunity has been purposefully crafted to promote self-awareness, team building and lifelong wellness. In these courses a desire to improve and an evolving work ethic are central to success. If you like to have fun while learning and are ready to take action, this is the course for you!
