Length: Semester

Recommended background: None

This is the second semester course for Stage 1 PE, to allow for a full year of Physical Education. The course will be tailored to the interests of the students, with a focus on analysis and evaluation. Due to the links to Semester 1, this course takes a similar approach to learning. The learning is delivered through an integrated approach in which opportunities are provided for students to undertake, and learn through, a wide range of authentic physical activities (e.g. sports, theme-based games, laboratories, fitness and recreational activities). Students explore movement concepts and strategies through these physical activities to promote performance and participation outcomes.

The assessments throughout the course are based on training principles & methods, biomechanics, and an investigation into modified games & participation. This course leads to further studies at Stage 2 in Physical Education, Integrated Learning: Sports Studies and Community Connections.

• Assessment Type 1: (at least one) Improvement Analysis
