PHE Course Structure

The objectives and expectations for this subject area are delivered through three different strands over the course of a regular week. Details of these strands can be seen below.

Instructional Classes

Over the duration of the school year the boys are exposed to a variety of sports in which the focus is on developing sport specific skills and their game understanding of how to play the sport. Additional information of what sports are taught can be found on the in course outlines for each grade.

Wing Games – Intramurals

Weekly wing games provide the boys with an opportunity to participate and compete in their wings for points. The course outlines for each grade provide information on what sports are played. The boys in grade 1 won’t be exposed to wing games but will have wing related activities within an instructional class.

Games

Weekly games classes are available for boys in grade 6 and 7 only. Games classes are often used for school team practices. In addition, games classes can be an opportunity for the boys to engage in a variety of other sports activities that may not be practiced in the other subject area strands. The course outlines for both grades can provide details for what takes place throughout the year.
