Year 13 Physical Education (13PES)
13PES Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr J. Kumate.
Pre-requisitesStudents must gain a minimum of 14 credits from 12PES. Approval for entry must be obtained from HOD Physical Education.
For students who have not studied the subject before approval as above must be obtained from the HOD Physical Education and will be based on the student’s academic ability in Year 12.
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.
