Course Description

Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mrs S. Hainsworth.


Students will critically evaluate societal, economic, environment, cultural and historical influences on their physical activity experiences to date.  They will participate in a training programme in preparation for the 6km off road tough guy and gal running event and then evaluate the effectiveness of this performance improvement program. They will also critical analyse an event, trend or issue in sport impacting society. 

Students who take this course may part-take in coaching at a local primary school, participate in the secondary school Tough Guy & Gal challenge, access local faculties such as counties fitness classes, community boxing and hot yoga classes. 

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.  

Students taking this course need to understand that it is a preparatory course for University. Students need to be interested in the theory behind physical activity as this course is more theoretical than practical.
