Determining the final mark
The development of sound learning skills is essential to the success of our students. Teachers and students will work together to understand and further the development of student learning skills in the areas of initiative, work habits, organization, team work, and independent work.

Student learning will include the application of movementprinciples to refine skills; participation in a variety of activities that enhance personalcompetence, fitness, and health; examination of issues related to healthy sexuality, healthy eating,addiction, gender issues; and the use of informed decision-making, conflict resolution,and social skills in making personal choices.
In secondary open level courses, the final mark is determined using the following procedure: term work comprises 70% of the final mark and end of year summative evaluations comprise 30% of the final mark.
A variety of term assessment and evaluation tasks will be used such as unstructured and structured observations, peer and self-evaluation, presentations, performances, oral debate, journals, written health promotion materials, etc.
Throughout the year, students will be assessed on curriculum expectations, receive feedback on learning, and be given opportunities to improve performance within four categories of learning. The marks in each of the categories of learning will be combined to form the term grade.
Towards the end of the course, students will complete a summative evaluation that will address the overall curriculum expectations for the various strands of the course. This task will be divided into smaller components for ease of completion. The total of the evaluation will comprise 30% of the final grade.
