Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

  • indicator text - p.69: the page prints this indicator 3.1.3.LI.7 inside the Sub-Strand 2 table, under the printed content standard 3.1.2.CS.1 and directly after 3.1.2.LI.5, and assesses it by 3.1.2.AS.7 - the document's own assessment code says sub-strand 1.2. Filed as 3.1.2.LI.7, which its position leaves free. The real 3.1.3.LI.7 is a different indicator on printed p.77 (substance-use consequences and rehabilitation), so filing by the printed code would put a tennis lesson under Health and Wellness
