Conflict resolution strategies along with physical techniques to protect ones-self will be continued and progressed from grade 10. This course is recommended for all students who wish to keep themselves and their family safe and includes strength training, circuit training, cross training and HIIT training. This is a semester long course elective. Enrollment in this course precludes eligibility for seeking a waiver for varsity athletics or marching band.
