Level 3 Physical Education
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Scivier.
Level 3 Physical Education
Year 13 Physical Education builds on the foundation laid at Levels 1 and 2 and offers 19 internal credits. The course involves both theory and practical lessons. The students will analyse and evaluate physical activity experiences, performances and training programmes as well as examine the impact of a recent sporting event on New Zealand society. The course is about 70% theory, 30% practical.
All students will need to have their own device as all internals use Microsoft Teams and all work is handed in on this platform.
