Physical Education is the study of how physical activity impacts on our lives.  Physical activity experiences are an integral part of human development.  They contribute to people’s physical health and well-being, growth, personal development and self-esteem.  Regular and enjoyable physical activity benefits everyone and for our students it should be a part of daily life.

Please feel free to visit the Physical Education website anytime for updates.

Graduate profile: (What qualities/additional skills learners will achieve by taking this course?)
Level 1 Physical Education Academic is split into two areas. It aims to develop understanding and apply strategies to improve an individual's level of skill in a range of activities; to explore the biomechanics of movement and anatomical principles, and how they influence our body to work; to examine interpersonal skills and how we apply them in order to develop leadership; and use teamwork to build a sense of confidence, pride and determination to succeed.

Students have the opportunity to gain 20 Level 1 achievement standard credits, all of which are internally assessed. They also have the opportunity to gain Course Endorsement with Merit or Excellence in this subject. To gain an Excellence endorsement, students need to gain 14 or more credits at Excellence level. To gain a Merit endorsement, they need to gain 14 or more credits at Merit (or a combination of Merit and Excellence). Individual teachers will also give students access to their own Google Classroom site.  This is a safe digital environment for student learning that enables students to view assessments, ask online questions about work and allows students to catch up on any work/resources that are missed if absent.  It also allows research resources to be posted by both student and teacher encouraging collaborative learning. It would be advantageous if they have gained Achievement Standard 90964.

Vocational/Industry links: (What vocational or industry learning experiences will be included in this course?)
What are the seven employability skills employers want?

Positive attitude - A positive attitude is not just about being “bubbly”. It means showing that you’ll happily do the work asked of you, and you’ll stay upbeat when the work gets hard. Communication - You show good communication skills if you follow instructions well and you ask questions when you’re confused. Being able to explain things clearly is also a big plus for employers. Teamwork - Playing or working well with others is not just a bonus on the rugby ground or during that science project, it’s something employers value. Can you share the workload and be nice to your workmates? Self-management - Getting to work on time and dressed right is just one part of self-management. Not throwing your toys around when you’re frustrated and managing stress successfully are top skills that will get you a job. Willingness to learn - Learning doesn’t stop once you leave school. Employers want to know that you can learn new technologies or new skills. Being keen to learn is a good bet for getting a job. Thinking skills - Employers rate thinking skills the highest when looking at your CV. Do you like to solve problems? Can you make a good decision? Do you think before you act? Resilience - Have you got grit? When something knocks you down, do you get back up again? This is resilience.
Employers need you to have this skill to cope with the times things go wrong at work.

Contextualised contexts: (What local, cultural, real-life content is involved in this course?)
Students will be working with Surfing with the Disabled - organising, planning and running this local event at Ahipara, which involves the community. They will take part in a Scuba Dive course, where they learn to dive in local areas of the Bay of Islands. Students will also develop their Leadership skills by heading out to the local primary school to teach a range of leadership styles.

Teaching and Learning Approaches: (How will I learn in this course?)
 Students will learn individually, in pairs and within groups. Some teaching/learning will occur through our online Google Classroom.

Resource requirements: (What resources will I need to have to learn in this course?)
Physical education gear is required and is the students’ responsibility. All other resources are supplied (either by paper or online). Students are required to turn up to classes ready and willing to learn.
