School Activities Many activities have been planned throughout the school year which you are encouraged to attend. You are required to attend at least one school activity sometime in the semester. You are welcome to attend them all though! Most of the activities take place on Fridays and generally take place once per week. You will be informed of the activities through your TA. A list of tentative dates for the activities has been posted on the PE homepage.

Activity Record Please refer to your activity record now. This was ed to you on the first day of school. You may also download it from Intro Lesson 1. What is the Activity Record? The Activity Record is a document that you must complete and send to me every two weeks. Due dates are posted on the course calendar. Checked by your Key Parent who then s it to me from their account. This validates the contents.

This question is just for PE20 and PE30 students…

PE10 – Heart Saver Course It is a requirement this year that all grade 10 students take a four hour Heart Saver course as a result of implementation of the new curriculum. The date that this course is posted on the calendar. It will be held at the RVVS office in Airdrie. If you already have current certification in Heart Saver or a higher level of first aid training, you need to send me a copy of your certification. This is worth 10% of your mark.
