PHYSICAL EDUCATION
In Physical Education, students focus on movement and its contribution to the development of individuals and communities. By learning in, through, and about movement, they come to understand that movement is enjoyable, enhances people’s lives, and is integral to human expression. They learn to understand, appreciate, and move their bodies, relate positively to others, and demonstrate constructive attitudes and values.
In Senior Physical Education, students complete Achievement Standards to gain credits towards their NCEA qualification. They must pass 16 credits in order to progress to the next level. At the time of publication, all assessments are internally assessed.
Classes will comprise of 60% theory and 40% practical. Students are required to wear PE gear for practical lessons. Students in Senior Physical Education are also expected to participate in the School Swimming Sports, Athletics Day, Cross Country, and in general, be good role models and leaders for junior students.
Students should take this course if they are interested in using sport, outdoor recreation, leisure pursuits, health or physical education in their chosen career.
