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.
