A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Family Life Education in Catholic Schools (and how it connects with Ontario’s revised Health and Physical Education Curriculum)
A Message from the Bishops of OntarioParents and guardians are the first and most important teachers of their children and no place is this statement more true than in the areas that are introduced and explored in family life education. As Catholics, we know that it is through their parents that children first learn of God’s love. Within the family, the generous and unconditional love of parents provides children with valuable and fundamental lessons in life that cannot be learned anywhere else. Catholic schools seek to do all they can to support families as they fulfill this awesome responsibility.
Since 1989, the Institute for Catholic Education (ICE) has coordinated the implementation of a family life curriculum, consistent with our faith, in Catholic schools across the province. The goal is to present a Catholic view of human life, sexuality, marriage and family, complementing the efforts of parents to teach their children at home.
With the guidance of the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario, resources are being developed to ensure that the family life curriculum in Ontario’s Catholic schools continues to be consistent with our Catholic teachings, appropriate within the context of our Catholic classrooms, and complementary to the efforts of parents to guide their children to full Christian maturity. We know that Catholic teachers will continue to present the issue of human sexuality within the fullness of our faith-based family life curriculum that teaches the content of our faith, the value of persons, human relationships, commitment, and social responsibility.
Schools, parents, and parishes must continue working together to provide students with an education that is founded in the Gospel of Jesus, and reflects a Catholic worldview. This is our shared mission. It is what Catholic schools in Ontario have done for the past 175 years, and it is what we will continue doing. It is through this shared commitment to our faith, and to our Catholic schools, that we remain steadfast in our call to serve and honour God.

The Revised Health & Physical Education (HPE) CurriculumThe HPE Curriculum is made up of 3 parts: Active Living, Movement Competence, and Healthy Living.
The Active Living strand consists of:
• Active Participation
• Physical Fitness
• Safety (e.g. bike safety, concussions)
The Movement Competence – Skills, Concepts and Strategies strand consists of:
• Physical Activity and Sports Skills
The Healthy Living strand consists of:
• Healthy Eating/Nutrition
• Personal Safety and Injury Prevention
• Substance Abuse, Addictions and other behaviour (e.g. gaming, screen time)
• Human Development and Sexual Health*
*The changes to the HPE curriculum that have attracted the most attention and have been the source of concern for many are found in the Healthy Living section, under Human Development and Sexual Health.
In order to understand how the revised HPE curriculum will be taught in our Catholic classrooms, we must first understand what curriculum implementation looks like in Catholic schools.

• The Human Development and Sexual Health component of the Healthy Living Strand represents approximately 10% of the overall Health and Physical Education Curriculum.
• The Family Life Curriculum, using the Fully Alive resource series, makes up 20% of the Religious Education program in Catholic schools, and is usually taught 1 day a week.
• The Human Development and Sexual Health expectations are taught across all themes, but most especially the third theme of the Fuly Alive program – Created Sexual: Male and Female.
• 90% of the expectations from the HPE curriculum were already included in the Family Life curriculum, and have been for many years.
I CREATED AND LOVED BY GOD
Created and Loved by God, is the foundation of the curriculum and affirms the Christian belief that each person is made in the image of a loving God as the starting point in the search for answers about human existence.
II LIVING IN RELATIONSHIP
In the Living in Relationship theme, the exploration of the meaning of human existence continues with a focus on the significant relationships of family and friendship.
III CREATED SEXUAL: MALE AND FEMALE
Human sexuality is a precious gift from God, intended for life and love, and is a fundamental dimension of human identity.
IV GROWING IN COMMITMENT
The Growing in Commitment theme is concerned with the integrity of our daily lives as persons who live in relationship with others.
V LIVING IN THE WORLD
Students are encouraged to recognize that they have a unique contribution to make to the world, one that cannot be made by anyone else.
Catholic Curriculum and the Ontario Catholic School Graduate ExpectationsIn 1998, ICE developed the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations, which identified 7 expectations, or desired outcomes of a Catholic education:
A DISCERNING BELIEVER formed in the Catholic faith community who celebrates the signs and sacred mystery of God’s presence through word, sacrament, prayer, forgiveness, reflections and moral living.
A SELF-DIRECTED, RESPONSIBLE LIFELONG LEARNER who develops and demonstrates their God-given potential.
A COLLABORATIVE CONTRIBUTOR who finds meaning, dignity and vocation in work which respects the rights of all and contributes to the common good.
A CARING FAMILY MEMBER who attends to family, school, parish, and the wider community.

Learning in Catholic ClassroomsThe relationship between learning and believing is fundamental to our Catholic schools. We focus not only on student knowledge and skills, but also on values and actions.
The Lens of FaithAs a publicly funded Catholic school system in Ontario, we teach the curriculum established by the Ministry of Education. While curriculum across all subject areas is adapted so that it can be taught through the lens of faith, some subject areas, such as Religious Education and Family Life Education, deal more directly with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
What is Family Life Education?In 1978, the bishops of Ontario published the ‘Guidelines for Family Life Education’ to affirm and support Catholic parents in the important role of raising their children according to the faith. The Bishops did so because they believe that family life education should be an important part of the Religion Education program offered in Catholic classrooms.
In Ontario Catholic schools, the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values acquired in the Family Life Education program complement those instilled by families, and reflect a distinctively Catholic view of human life, sexuality, marriage and family.
