The Physical Education 11 and 12 curriculum builds on and expands the curriculum developed for Kindergarten to Grade 10. Physical Education 11 and 12 provides opportunities for students to experience a variety of recreational pursuits, career interests, and activities that promote lifelong, healthy living. Students focus their learning in areas of personal interest and participate in activities that promote social interaction, community responsibility, and skill development. In Physical Education 11 and 12, teachers work with students to develop programs to meet student needs and interests. Programs are structured so that the duration, intensity, and frequency of activities motivate students to meet their individual goals.
Students participate in a balance of activities from the movement categories.
The Physical Education 11 and 12 curriculum focusses on promoting healthy attitudes and regular physical activity as important parts of each student's lifestyle. It emphasizes analysing and improving physical competence, maintaining personal fitness, developing effective leadership and sports- management skills, and planning for careers. As in the past, the present curriculum focusses on the unique and significant contributions of physical education in the development of every student. In each organizer, the prescribed learning outcomes incorporate learning from the three domains. In addition, the previous curriculum provided seven movement categories, while the new curriculum has only three.
