11 PHYSICAL EDUCATION - MĀTAURANGA TINANA

Whakataukī: He oranga ngākau he pikanga waiora: Positive feelings in your heart will raise your sense of self-worth.

Level 1 Physical Education is designed for students who are interested in learning about the body and different physical activities through practical investigations. This course incorporates the traditional disciplines of anatomical, biomechanical and physiological principles, which students examine and apply in order to develop movement skills and strategies in a range of contexts. Students will have the opportunity to experience outdoor activities and move themselves outside of their comfort zones. This course will reflect the new big ideas, all of which connect through the importance of movement. 

Learning covered in 2024: 

• Develop diverse capabilities and acknowledge the importance of kotahitanga (unity/collaboration). This unit of work will include a 2-night outdoor education camp and other practical contexts.
• Demonstrate movement strategies in a range of contexts (including Badminton and Ki o rahi).
