Introduction to Health and Physical Education

The Family Life/Health Education course for students of 51动漫 is based on developmentally sound research and accepted topical areas of concern. These concepts prepare students for leading healthy lifestyles. Core topics include the following: understanding social-emotional health and physical wellness, building positive relationships, safety and environment, sexuality, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and life management skills taught at home and in school.

Physical Education provides a necessary component by providing the student with a core of values, attitudes, and beliefs that will awaken and inspire a desire to continue the pursuit of healthy physical conditioning. Physical activity is essential for physical skill development, social-emotional skill development, physical fitness development, and health-related benefits. A well-developed program can improve a student's quality of life and have a positive impact on their way of living.

Qualified teachers equipped to appropriately cover all subject content administer the Health and Physical Education Program. The success of the program is, in part, attributed to the health educators who participate in continuing education by attending professional development courses on relevant topics. The curriculum content will be followed as stated: The staff will be alert to emerging trends, develop new media and materials, and follow any modifications necessary for future consideration.

The role of the parent/guardian will continue to be an integral factor in this all-important educational area. The school program is supplementary to the education provided first and foremost by the parent/guardian and is designed to complement it.
