Year 13 Physical Education (13PES)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Kumate.
This course intends to develop students' abilities to analyse and critique a range of topics in Physical Education. This is achieved through a combination of theoretical and practical lessons. Topics include: risk and safety management, lifelong participation in physical activity, practical performance, and issues in sport.
This course will be an advantage to those students who intend to go onto study a UE course as 13PES offers accredited Achievement Standards for UE entrance. This is a full time year long course of four periods a week, working towards NZQA Achievement Standards. Achievement Standard PE3.5 is offered as an optional additional self-directed standard in Term 4 for those wanting to gain UE entrance but who have not gained the requisite 14 credits.
