Level 3 Physical Education - Mātauranga Tinana Toru (PED303)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss F. Trappitt.
This course is a combination of practical and theory work that offers students the opportunity to learn about the significant role physical activity and sport plays in our lives. Through movement they will develop the physical skills and capabilities to devise strategies that contribute to lifelong wellbeing. Students will examine physical activity and look at ways we can enhance performance in a physical activity of their choice. This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, and explore ways we can enhance sports performance and enjoyment. Students will learn that through movement, we develop a range of capabilities, and develop an understanding of what influences our own and others’ participation in movement experiences. Students will participate in an outdoor activity and analyse safety management issues related to the activity and devise strategies to manage these safety issues.
Students can expect to learn in and through a range of movement experiences including badminton, swimming, waka ama, volleyball, and ki o rahi to name a few.
This is a university approved course and there are not external assessments or end of year exams associated with this course.
Students can select both Level 3 Physical Education, Outdoor Education and Sport Studies but must understand there is some overlap in the standards assessed.
