Year 10 Physical Education
Course Description
Year 10 Physical Education
The year 10 PE course develops on students understanding from year 9, demanding a higher level of understanding about the activities they engage in. Throughout the year, students will become tactically aware of how to develop the fundamentals of sporting movements, be able to manage and run their competitive play safely and fairly and will think of new and strategic ways to overcome barriers and outwit opponents.
Alongside traditional sports such as Football, Rugby, Cricket, Softball, Basketball and Volleyball, students will be introduced to less-familiar activities such as AFL, Lacross and Touch, along with culturally diverse sports to widen their understanding and exposure of practical activities.
The overriding common goal of year 10 Physical Education is about engagement in sport to ensure students are physically literate and can pursue activities beyond school-life with the confidence and skill-set needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle into adulthood.
For those students looking to take PE as an accredited subject, students will be introduced to physical components such as muscular and skeletal features, biomechanics and physical activity readiness through warming-up and cooling-down. In addition to this, students will develop and understanding of societal issues affecting sport, along with the cultural understanding of why we partake in physical activities. These components should give students a good footing when making choices at level 1.
