Level 1 Physical Education

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs G. Pocock.

Movement is fundamental to our lives, and contributes to our development both as individuals and as members of our community. This course focuses on Level 6 of the Health and Physical Education curriculum and is designed for students who are interested in learning the science behind how the body works, what influences how we move and strategies to enhance movement experiences. Through this course students will learn that there are diverse ways of understanding the moving body, incorporating biophysical aspects such as anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological principles; te ao Māori aspects such as the values that enhance participation in movement; sociocultural aspects such as the youth culture and media. This course is a combination of both theory and practical, consisting of one internally assessed and one externally assessed Physical Education achievement standard, with a total of 10 credits. Students will participate in an overnight surfing camp experience during term 1. This costs approximately $250.00.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
