Wesley College
Year 13 Physical Education
Course Description
Year 13 Physical Education builds on the foundation laid at Levels 1 and 2 and offers 19 internal credits. The course involves both theory and practical lessons. The students will analyse and evaluate physical activity experiences, performances and training programmes as well as examine the impact of a recent sporting event on New Zealand society. The course is about 70% theory, 30% practical.
Students will critically evaluate influences on their decision-making with respect to the physical activity experiences they have participated in over time. They will evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement program, devise strategies for achieving a physical activity outcome and demonstrate quality performance of a physical activity in an applied setting. They will also examine contemporary leadership principles.
In physical education the focus is on movement and the aim is to encourage students to engage in movement experiences that promote and support the development of physical and social skills. It fosters critical thinking and action and enables students to understand the role and significance of physical activity for individuals and society.
