Year 13 Physical Education helps motivate, engage and foster creative thinking in our learners and students are encouraged to embrace new experiences and overcome obstacles.
Start the year with a performance programme (3.3), followed by a quality performance (3.4) as a culmination of the programme. During the winter complete ‘Back to the Future Scrap Book’ (3.1) and then study a well-known sporting event in NZ (3.5). At the end of the year, take part in some FREE EOTC trips (orienteering and/or bush walk) to complete RAMS (3.7). Total of 19 credits.
Doing regular PE lessons enhances an individual’s ability to concentrate and maintain focus.
It helps to relieve stress and anxiety. School life is hectic for every individual. Therefore, taking part in
physical activities and education allows students to relieve their academic stress and anxiety
