TCDSB Policy Register     

Policy:
 

An important aspect in establishing programs that are safe for both students and staff is recognizing that there is an element of risk in all physical activity and to take action accordingly. By implementing safe instructional practices as well as inclusion of age appropriate activities in program preparations, planning and daily teaching the teacher will guard against foreseeable risks. 

It is the policy of the Board that physical activities in the Physical and Health Education program of our schools will be in accordance with current Ontario Safety Guidelines for Physical Education published by the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association.

3.         Activities Not Allowed within the guidelines should not be part of the program. 

4.                  Participation in any activity not listed in the guidelines would require written permission of the Program Coordinator and local Superintendent. 

5.                  Exemptions from this policy would require written permission of the Program Coordinator and local Superintendent.
