Wesley College
Year 11 Physical Education
Course Description
“In physical education, the focus is on movement and its contribution to the development of individuals and communities. By learning in, through and about movement, students gain an understanding that movement is integral to human expression and that it can contribute to people’s pleasure and enhance their lives. They learn to understand, appreciate, and move their bodies, relate positively to others and demonstrate constructive attitudes and values. This learning takes place as they engage in play, games, sport, exercise, recreation, adventure and expressive movement in diverse physical and social environments” (NZC 2007).
At Wesley College, the underlying principles (hauora, socio-ecological perspective, health promotion and attitudes and values) are studied in a range of contexts across NCEA levels 1-3.

Course Overview
Term 1
Apply movement strategies in an applied setting: Students are able to apply movement strategies in an applied setting.
Assessment Conditions
Assessor involvement during the assessment event is limited to providing general feedback. For example, identifying sections of student work that would benefit from further development.
Students may work on assessment evidence in and out of class time, over a period of time specified by the assessor. This can include using evidence from participation in a movement context outside of class; however, teachers will need to verify the live marking of the movement strategies.
Students must be assessed in an applied setting. This means it must be an authentic situation (game, tournament, competition, festival, event, etc) where they are applying their movement strategies to unpredictable external cues. These cues could involve environmental factors, teammates, opposition players, or fellow competitors.
Students will be assessed on the live performance of their chosen range of movement strategies. This can be evidenced through a teacher verification sheet and student-submitted evidence of their application of strategies. If student-submitted evidence does not correlate to the teacher verification sheet, teacher annotations can provide the details and examples of how the Standard has been met.
Evidence for all parts of this assessment can be in te reo Māori, English, or New Zealand Sign Language.
