*A place we want to make you feel comfortable being uncomfortable!

Here are some valuable things we hope you take with you that become important in your life:

*ENJOY BEING ACTIVE & SOCIAL!!!

*Take pride in taking care of your physical & mental health. 
(Sweat Boosts this!)

*Challenge yourself to get better. Overcome physical and mental obstacles

*Help contribute to the class process

*Make the effort to make a positive impact towards others

TO HAVE PERSONAL SUCCESS IN CLASS AND OUT THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO !!!

WHAT TO DO IN PE CLASS

1. Go to Changeroom to change into Active clothing. LOCK UP VALUABLES in LOCKER.

2. Five minutes (approx) after final bell go to facility you're scheduled to be in for attendance
    (*see facility rotation outside PE office, ie. Small Gym)
    ******BRING APPROPRIATE OUTDOOR CLOTHING IF SCHEDULED ON the FIELD

3. Turn on Mental Switch to Embrace Upcoming activity

4. Participate in class activity to best of your ability
   *****If you're good at an activity help guide and get others involved. If not be open to try.
          Everybody has their strengths in different areas, its okay if not in sports. We'd rather
           have good people than good athletes in PE and our communities any day.

5. Five minutes (approx) before end of class go to changeroom to change out of sweaty clothes. TAKE LOCK OFF of LOCKER SO OTHERS CAN USE IT (They will be cut if left)

I'M SICK, I'M INJURED :(((

What happens if you are sick.....? 

...Stay home if you are in the contagious phase (early on)
     *If you are in the later stages a gradual return to activity can help strengthen your immune system

What happens if you are injured.....?

...ALWAYS still be bring activewear!  There is ALWAYS an alternative activity you can do or a rehabilitation exercise you can do to speed up the healing of the injury. PROACTIVE HEALING

(ie. Sprained ankle = upper body workout or ankle physiotherapy)

What happens if you have trouble doing an exercise during fitness days....?
...Do a MODIFIED activity that is similar or if you can't think of one DO ANYTHING BUT STAND or SIT OUT!

*Find ways IN to doing things that seem challenging, rather than trying to find ways out of them. You'll be surprised how much better you feel.

*Who you are as a person (the quality of your character) is what you do as habit. "I almost always am (motivated, able to find ways to participate, exerting myself maximally in fitness, being a positive difference to the class dynamic..etc)

Leaders and the Greater Common Good

As leaders in the school and society, we truly do have within our power the vision and the opportunity to realize a community where its highest goal is the achievement of the greatest public good.  Our citizenship should model a just society that is characterized by equality and opportunity for all.  As we say in physical education; 'It is your personal and social responsibility'.  Surely each of you have been inspired by someone in your lives whose leadership is founded on similarly noble principles.  Now is your chance to reflect on those qualities of great leadership that you've witnessed or experienced and share the influence they've had on you and your motivation to lead. 

This project is, I hope, the start of a very long journey for you, to discover your vision of the common good and how you as a leader will contribute to its maintenance and promotion.

Project:

Research (with bibliographic references) a person you consider to be your model or hero who has committed to a leadership role in serving the public good.  As part of your research and analysis, you must specify

            - the obstacles they had to overcome to serve the public good
