The Moscrop PHE program of instruction supports the BC Curriculum for Physical and Health Education. We base our instructions on principles of inclusion and encourage all learners to develop knowledge, movement skills and positive attitudes for a healthy, active lifestyle. Students are presented diverse opportunities in physical education that introduce, reinforce, and extend their physical literacy and knowledge base. Students receive marks on participation, safety, fair play, leadership, skill, fitness and knowledge. Moscrop PE provides an up to date curriculum in health education, fitness, individual, dual, and team play. In addition, the Senior PE (Active Living 11/12) program streams toward the notion of lifelong learning; that the foundations learned in PHE 8, 9, and 10 are applied in Active Living 11 and 12 to support a healthy active lifestyle into adulthood.
Physical & Health Education 8,9,10 (MANDATORY COURSES)
The Junior PHE Program at Moscrop is based on the principles of choice, inclusion and participation. Our objectives are to provide students with a basic knowledge and skill level to play a great variety of sport, and, most importantly, to create opportunities to be active and have fun, and instill the motivation to lead an active lifestyle.
Students will participate in PHE with their scheduled PHE teacher from September to December, they are presented with a variety of curricular choices for each teaching unit between January and May. The emphasis for our grade 8 and 9 students will be more on skill development and game rules and etiquette, while grade 10 PHE will focus more on fair play and sport strategy, less on skill development and basic knowledge. Our health units (one month) will focus on the following topics:
Grade 8: Consequences of Drug abuse (Drugs, vaping, alcohol, mental health,)
Grade 9: Sex Education and Healthy Relationships
Grade 10: Healthy Lifestyle and wellness (Nutrition and Activity Level)
The choices students have from January to May are designed to encourage students to select a balance of team and individual sports as well as a sport they feel comfortable in. We are offering a variety of sports including unusual opportunities such as golf and First Aid. Units are usually 8-10 classes in length. Unit selection takes place in January. Changes to the January choices may be made with parent consent at least two weeks prior to the start of each unit only.
(Some program changes may be made due to Covid -19)
Evaluation is based mainly on participation, but also reflects fitness, skill and cognitive aspects. Minor changes may be made:
Participation 40% based on a five-point daily scale.
Fitness 20% Warm ups, fitness tests
Knowledge 20% A unit test (Rules & etiquette of sport)
Skill 20% based on a unit skill
Students who cannot participate in PHE for an extended period of time are required to complete medical assignments. If the injury or medical condition persists other options of programming can be explored.
