With a focus on mental fitness needs (Competence, Autonomy and Relatedness) and the Olympic values (Excellence, Friendship and Respect), students will explore their passions, interests, skills with an emphasis on inclusion and diversity.
Students learn to appreciate highlights and simple joys through daily activities such as creating a visual highlight wheel and collecting rocks signifying their daily highlights.
Building on the framework of the 2012-2013 Give Your Everything: Be a Champion For Life classroom resource, teachers and students will be introduced to original athlete narratives. Students will be challenged in activities and cooperative games that foster student psychological well-being. Included in this resource are a teacher’s overview, suggested activities and conditions that foster student mental fitness, Highlight Journal and original narratives featuring Canadian Olympic Team members.
