Level 1 PE, Sport and the Great Outdoors (PEO101)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss F. Trappitt.
The PEO101 course is a combination of practical and theory work and offers students the opportunity to participate in a variety of physical activities in the context of PE, sport and outdoor education. Students will partake in a variety of physical activities including ki o rahi, rock climbing, cooperative games, netball, kayaking, tramping, volleyball and mountain biking to name a few! All activities require students to be physically active, which contributes to their overall health and well-being.
Students will participate in a wide range of group activities that will help develop their ability to work within a team, further developing their interpersonal skills whilst building connections with others. During the course, students will be required to reflect on their participation in these activities, to enhance their understanding of the important role physical activity plays in our lives.
Students will learn in and about a range of movement contexts, learning how the body works, and ways to maintain and enhance physical experiences. Our aim is to provide students with the opportunity to experience fun and exciting activities and learn valuable skills that will inspire them to participate in lifelong physical activity.
Students will also get to experience activities outside of the classroom including, a day of kayaking and rock climbing at Fergs, Rock and Kayak, an overnight camp/tramp into the Orongorongo Valley and mountain biking at Wainuiomata Mountain Biking Park.
This course will help students prepare for both the level 2 Physical Education and Outdoor Education courses.
In Year 11 PE, Sport and the Great Outdoors the work is assessed in a variety of contexts, including practical demonstrations, orally and written presentations/reflections. There is no end of year exam associated with this course.
