COMPLEMENTARY COURSES
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
HUMANITIES
Students take two Complementary courses from
designated areas of study. The courses are selected
from the Six Major Domains or General Areas of Study.
All students are required to take three courses in Physical
Education to fulfill the requirements for the Diploma of
College Studies. Because of the many interests, abilities and
motivations which affect a student’s choice of physical
activities, Champlain Saint-Lambert endeavours to offer a
wide range of courses. Every student can be sure of finding
an activity that is interesting, enjoyable and healthful. It is
the policy of the College to promote not only competitive
sports, but also to encourage a taste and an aptitude for
recreational pursuits which may be enjoyed throughout life.
Students must complete the following courses:
Students must take three courses to complete their
Humanities requirements. One course will be taken from
each of the three categories described below. The order
of courses is as follows:
All aspects of human behaviour can be examined
from the various Social Sciences domain courses.
Courses offer a unique and specialized way of
understanding the human experience and allow
students to explore the social world from a scientific
perspective.
• Domain 2: Science and Technology
Since the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century,
science and technology have shaped the world we live
in, substantially modified our relationship with nature
and reality, and have redefined our most fundamental
values. Courses in the Science and Technology
domain provide a more informed understanding of
the general nature of both science and technology, of
their relationship and interdependence and of the
great challenges that face them in the 21st century.
• Domain 3: Modern Languages
The courses in the Modern Languages domain permit
students to learn the rudiments of a third language
by focusing on the following basic skills: listening,
understanding, speaking, reading and writing. After
two courses in the new language, motivated students
will be able to express themselves with relative ease
at a café, restaurant, train station, supermarket and
in conversation with friends.
• Domain 4: Language of Mathematics
and Computer Science
The courses in the Language of Mathematics and
Computer Science domain offer an understanding of
the culture of mathematics and computers. Students
learn the basic elements of important computer tools
in computer software.
• Domain 5: Art and Aesthetics
Arts and Aesthetics courses lead students to respond
to and appreciate diverse forms of artistic creation.
Students explore various forms of artistic expression
by examining, analyzing and evaluating art, as well as
by hands-on experimentation and production using a
variety of media.
• Domain 6: Contemporary Issues
To consider contemporary issues from a
cross-disciplinary perspective.
Physical Eduction 101 and 102 can be completed in any
order. Once both completed, students then take Physical
Education 103.
• Physical Activity and Health: 109-101-MQ
The 101 course involves identifying the role that certain
lifestyle behaviours, such as regular physical activity,
good nutrition and stress management, play in the
pursuit of optimal health and well-being. Students will
examine the health and wellness effects derived from
participation in regular physical activity and will explore
the effects of their current lifestyle habits. Students will
identify appropriate activity options based on their own
interests, needs and abilities, and explore the factors
influencing their motivation for maintaining or increasing
regular physical activity. Please note: students must
purchase a manual for the 101 level course.
• Physical Activity and Effectiveness:
109-102-MQ
The 102 course is designed to provide each student with
the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively learn the
skills to be a successful participant in the chosen activity.
Each student will be expected to analyze the factors that
contribute to the acquisition of skills. Using a problemsolving approach, the student will conduct a personal
analysis of her/his knowledge and abilities, establish
personal goals, and plan strategies leading to the
improvement of those skills.
• Physical Activity and Autonomy:
109-103-MQ
The 103 course addresses the competency of designing
and managing a personal activity program that
incorporates healthy lifestyle choices. This course
contributes to the development of responsible behaviours
leading to the promotion and improvement of health. The
learning situation will require the application of
fundamental knowledge and experiences acquired in the
101 and 102 Physical Education courses. The student will
explore a variety of health- related activities and be
responsible for choosing, performing and scheduling
activities appropriate to meet personal needs, interests
and abilities.

Courses in this group examine ways of knowing, ways
of assessing knowledge and truth and the difference
between knowledge and belief. Students will begin to
understand how knowledge can be organized, analyzed
and related to historical context. Students will consider
if knowledge is used to restrict or contribute to the
progress of a society.
• Worldviews – 345-102
A worldview touches every aspect of a person’s life. A
worldview may be common to an entire civilization or
historical period, or specific to a particular social
group or philosophical outlook. Courses in this group
examine how ideas, values and experiences inherent
in a worldview influence an individual’s
understanding of the world. Students will analyze and
compare the central ideas of two or more worldviews
with the goal of understanding how worldviews both
reflect and shape societies.
