or Health may be taken in addition to a physical education course.
In Grades 11 and 12 more depth in team sports is emphasized. Aspects of coaching, theory, refereeing and
appreciation of the sport are stressed. Many individual and carryover sports are introduced, as well, with the hope
that students will continue active participation in these sports once they leave high school; i.e., badminton, golf,
archery, judo, and personal fitness.
Any field trips offered in physical education classes are optional and must be student- funded.
It is strongly recommended that a health course be taken in conjunction with physical education at the senior level.
(N.B. —PEH4A and PEH3A will fulfil the compulsory Senior Social Science credit requirement.)
The Physical and Health Education Department provides an umbrella concept under which are the following broad
areas of student involvement:
- the academic program; i.e., dance, skill technology, fitness;
- the intramural recreation/games program;
- the interscholastic sports program;
- the health studies program;
- the outdoor education program.
Through these programs, the Physical and Heatth Education Department hopes to provide the student with
intellectual, social and physical challenges so that the student may be better prepared for his/her future role as a
profitable member of society.

• Preferred routes through the Secondary_ School Science orooram
For all students, it is strongly recommended that they proceed through the secondary school science
program by first taking a Grade 9 science course, then a Grade 10 science course, and finally senior
science courses as desired. Two science credits are necessary for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma
(OSSD). It is anticipated that the majority of students will choose to take grade 9 and 10 science to meet
this requirement.
Levels of Difficulty
Courses developed at different levels of difficulty are dissimilar and are taught from different perspectives.
If a student wishes to change his or her science program from one level of difficulty to another, be or she
should seek advice from members of the science and guidance departments. Due to timetabling
▪ difficulties and to class sizes, it may na be possible for a student to transfer from one level to another
during the school year.
SCIENCE - GRADE 9
NOTE: The course descriptions for Grade 9 science reflect the changes introduced by the Ontario
Ministry of Education which were implemented in September 1988.
The approach in Grade 9 is exploration of the science disciplines. Provision is made for a mosaic
of biology, chemistry, environmental science and physics where these fundamental science
disciplines become apparent to the student. By introducing each of these subjects for a short
period of time during Grade 9, it is fek that the students will be able to test their ability, confirm
interests, and plan a detailed program for further specialized study. They will experience the
reality that scientific processes cross the artificial barriers between the disciplines.

In a study of a wide variety of organisms, the diversity of life is examined. These very different
life forms are shown to be organized into classification groups (plant, animal, protist, monera,
fungi, virus). Some members of each group are then examined in more detail. The methods of
reproduction are compared. This leads to a closer look at genetics, heredity, and the
development of the organism from embryo to fully developed individual. Particular emphasis is
placed on developing a critical assessment of information received in a variety of modes
(educational films, filmstrips, texts, reading assignments, microscopic examination,
experiments and demonstrations).
