Level 3 Physical Education

Course Description

A full achievement standard course which is a university approved (UE) subject and course endorsement is available. This course is made up of a mixture of sports science and socio cultural theory which engages you in critical thinking about “all things physical”. Contemporary approaches to skill acquisition and leadership are also explored. 

The course is somewhat co-constructed with student input based on interests and what students wanted to get out of PE. Practical activities have included: Badminton, Frisbee, Turbo Touch, Leading Primary students for PE, visits to/from AUT Millennium Institute of sport and a range of practical activities to engage you in critical thinking about key concepts. 

Learning and evidence for assessment is gathered through immersion in the practical aspect of the course. 

Course fees will be approximately $50 

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