Year 10 Heath & Physical Education

Course Description

Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mrs S. Hainsworth.


In Health and Physical Education, the focus is on the well-being of the students themselves, of other people, and of society through learning in health-related and movement contexts. The main aim of Physical Education is to get students engaged in regular physical activity through a wide range of different contexts. 

Through learning and by accepting challenges in health-related and movement contexts, students reflect on the nature of well-being and how to promote it. As they develop resilience and a sense of personal and social responsibility, they are increasingly able to take responsibility for themselves and contribute to the well-being of those around them, their communities, and their environment (including natural environments). 

Students will part-take in a wide range of movement contexts throughout the year and utilise school and community resources. 

Students will undertake 2 hours of Physical Education a week and 1 hour of Health Education a week.
