NCEA Level 1 Physical Education

Course Description

Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mrs S. Hainsworth.

Movement is integral to the human experience. It facilitates a lifelong understanding of our bodies, contributes to our hauora, and allows us to live physically active lives. Movement is affected by and affects who we are, how we experience and interact with others, and our relationship to and place in society. 

Physical Education invites students to engage with how movement affects them, those around them, and their wider communities. Students will recognise and understand the challenges which affect participation in movement and respond to any movement barriers with full and active participation. Through their learning journey in Physical Education, students will develop and refine their understanding of what it means to be physically educated and promote physical education throughout their lives.

Students will participate in a variety of physical activities throughout the year and evaluate the factors that have affected their participation.  They will develop an understanding of how the body functions during physical activity as well as how to learn physical skills effectively.  Students will develop an understanding of the effective use of interpersonal skills in a team setting.  They will also examine the societal influences that affect their participation in physical activity.

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. 

Physical Activities may include: Volleyball, Ki o rahi, Adventure Based Learning, Orienteering, Boxing, Winter Sports.
