A pathway aimed to better develop and support student athletes, aged 14 – 18 years,to achieve academic and athletic goals.

A truly flexible and personalized approach to athlete development with access totraining and coaching from the Canadian Sport Institute Calgary, national andprovincial sport organizations.

What makes this pathway unique from other athlete-focused programs? Participants have a complete high school experience that includes the choice to

participate in athletics, fine arts, clubs and social activities. Additionally, studentshave the opportunity to take option-area courses such as mechanics, sports medicine,culinary arts, cosmetology, construction, pre-engineering, multimedia, secondlanguages and dance.

The Pathway can be personalized at several levels to meet student-athlete needsthrough creative and flexible timetabling.

Why take the High Performance Athlete Development Pathway?

Develop general athleticism or specific athletic skills without sacrificing academic orperformance opportunities.

Affords student athletes a complete high school experience while still training andcompeting in a high performance environment

Have access to National and Provincial Sport Organization resources (trainers,coaches, facilities etc.) to pursue elite-level performance and/or competition.

Who should consider the High Performance Athlete Development Pathway?

Any student with an interest and passion for the development of skills related toathleticism with the potential of discovering an area of specialization

Sport-specific athletes looking for a complete high school experience with a flexibletimetable to meet their training needs

What are my course choices as a candidate for the High Performance Athlete Development Pathway?

As a Grade 10 student entering the pathway, you would take the following courses:o Sports Performance 15 (Introduction to High Performance Training)o High Performance Training 15o Physical Education 10o Math 10o English 10o Social Studies 10o Science 10o Option (Choose an option from a rich selection of course offerings at

Bowness High School)

http://www.paralympic.ca/

A Grade 11 student’s timetable may look like the following: o Sports Performance 25 (Intermediate High Performance Training) o High Performance Training 25 or High Performance Coaching 25 o Math 20 o English 20 o Social Studies 20 o Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Science 20 o Chemistry, Physics or Biology 20, OR Option, OR Spare (dependent on

whether student takes 1 or 2 science courses) o CALM 20, OR Option, OR Spare (dependent on training schedule/needs,

online vs classroom CALM)

A Grade 12 student’s timetable may look like the following: o Sports Performance 35 (Advanced High Performance Training) o High Performance Training 35 or High Performance Coaching 35 o Math 30 o English 30 o Social Studies 30 o Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Science 30 o Chemistry, Physics or Biology 30 (dependent on whether student takes 1 or

2 sciences courses) o Option or spare

Advanced Placement (AP) - ELA, European History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus and Studio Art are offered at Bowness High School

Students may opt to complete the pathway in 4 years rather than 3 due to training and/or competition demands

The Learning Centre (TLC) at Bowness is available for academic support throughout the day.

Please refer to attached list of courses that students may choose from to construct their High Performance Training Experience pathway

How will support look for those students with demanding training schedules and/or unique needs?

Example 1: “My child is not presently involved with high performance sport but enjoys athletics. Should we consider this pathway as a possibility?”

o YES! The very foundation of the pathway is to provide a pathway opportunity for youth aged 14-18. The development of athleticism for students of this age instills self-confidence, discipline, time management skills, organizational skills, social skills and resilience; all of which better equip these students for post-secondary success. Additionally, the opportunity to work with several national and provincial sport organizations prepares and exposes these students to the possibility of competing at the provincial, university and/or national level.

Example 2: “My son will be competing in Europe this winter and will be missing 3 weeks of school. How can we ensure he stays engaged with, and has access to help in the courses in which he is enrolled?”

o Student athletes will be provided materials to take with them on extended training sessions and competitions. The CBE uses the platform “Brightspace” (D2L) which connects the student with content, assignment submission and teacher support. Supports are also in place for when student-athletes return from such training/competition opportunities (modified timelines, extended deadlines, etc.).

Example 3: “My daughter needs to be at the University of Calgary to begin speed-skating practice/training at 3:00. How can the school accommodate her with those unique needs?”

o Those students with training commitments outside of school can be easily accommodated through timetabling adjustments. In the above scenario, that student would carry an academic course load in the morning every day, and have option courses, or a spare in the afternoon. Exploring the possibility of earning credits for her off-site training will also occur.

What courses are offered within the High Performance Athlete Development Pathway?

Sports Performance 15 (SPF15 - Grade 10), Sports Performance 25 (SPF25 - Grade 11) and Sports Performance 35 (SPF - Grade 12) set the foundation for the more specific, High Performance Training Experiences (HPTX) and High Performance Coaching Experiences (HPCX) specialized pathways.

The courses within Sports Performance 15, 25 & 35 are compulsory. Students then personalize their experiences within the HPTX and HPCX courses by choosing courses that are most relevant to their goals.

The High Performance Athlete Development Pathway (HPAD) Planner will assist students and their families in planning and personalizing their HPAD experience.
