The intent of the program is to get students to reflect about what they have done during their high school years and to think about what they will do after high school. It is hoped that this process will allow students to be more aware of their strengths and weaknesses and to consequently map out realistic plans for post-secondary options.

By the end of your graduating year, you must be able to account for and provide evidence of having completed 300 hours of physical activity not including your PE 10 course. This works out to be approximately 50 hours of activity per semester or 150 minutes per week.

Three basic components must be completed:1. Personal Health2. Community Connections3. Career and Life

Students who complete all the component requirements will receive 4 credits and a “requirement met” (RM) mark on their transcript.
