Physical Education 301
The course has both practical and theory lessons.
Units covered in term one require students to reflect on previous physical activity and experiences and the impact these have had on their wellbeing. They will need to create strategies to keep themselves active in the future. Alongside this topic students will complete a practical unit developing their skills in badminton. They will need to complete skills training and then play a round robin singles tournament to play other students in the classroom.
Fitness is the focus of term two. Students will complete a 5 week fitness training programme. Pre and post fitness tests are carried out so that students can analyse the effectiveness of the programme. Students work towards the tough guy & girl challenge which is a 6km mud run. There is a theory component looking at muscles, energy systems and training methods/principles and also practical lessons doing fitness training sessions.
Term 3 is all about coaching. Students look at leadership/coaching styles and choose 2 that they will trial during their planned 2/3 coaching sessions with younger children. They will then analyse which coaching styles they prefered and why.
Term 4 has a focus on physical activity events, current trends or issues and the impact on society. For example how the FIFA Women's world cup being held in New Zealand has impacted our society.
