Health and Physical Education (Grades 1 to 12)

The Ontario Physical Education Safety Guidelines, managed by  Ophea, have become the standard of care in the province of Ontario for Health and Physical Education in Grades 1 to 12. The guidelines, which represent the minimum standards for risk management practice for school boards, focus the attention of teachers, intramural supervisors and coaches on safe practices, in every activity, in order to minimize the element of risk.

Available here, the guidelines are divided into Elementary and Secondary levels, each containing three separate modules.

Also visit the Ontario Association for the Support of Physical and Health Educators (OASPHE), “Educators who provide a strong voice to lobby, advocate and support the development and delivery of quality curriculum in Health and Physical Education.”

The sample resources featured below are designed to assist boards in creating a culture of safety mindedness in their schools. As boards have both the responsibility and authority to develop SIP plans according to their specific processes, these sample resources should not be considered directive or prescriptive, but rather as helpful information. Important: Before downloading resources, please review our Terms of Use.

About This Online Resource

An area of need identified by board staff with responsibility for student injury prevention is the ability to share best practices and information, ask questions, and access links to provincial student injury prevention partners.

As part of SIPI Phase Three, this online interactive resource includes both public and members-only areas. The members-only area allows boards to share resources, ask questions, and connect with fellow colleagues as they further develop student injury prevention plans and resources.
