Contact Person: Kristy McCarthy
Recommended Background: Stage 1 HPE is preferred but not essential.
Content: Stage 2 Physical Education uses Physical Activity as a way to explore different concepts specifically in relation to three focus areas.
Focus Area 1: In movement Education ‘in’ physical activity is about students making meaning of personal movement experiences. Through these movement experiences, students must engage in thoughtful participation where internal reflection and articulation of learning progress can be established.
Focus Area 2: Through movement Education ‘through’ physical activity is about students using movement to achieve the goals of 21st-century education, including personal, intellectual, and social skill development.
Such skill development will allow students to engage more purposefully in physical activity.
Students use physical activity contexts as the vehicle for developing the 21st-century skills necessary to reflect on and critique their learning in order to enhance participation and performance outcomes.
Focus Area 3: About movement Education ‘about’ physical activity enables students to develop theoretical knowledge to understand the richness and diversity of movement experiences. Students apply their knowledge to real-life experiences to evaluate participation and performance outcomes.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the SACE Performance Standards. Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types:
- Assessment Type 1: Diagnostics
- Assessment Type 2: Improvement Analysis
- Assessment Type 3: Group Dynamics
Additional Charges: A consumables / excursion fee may apply to this subject in addition to the Clare High School Materials and Service Charges.
This course will involve a one day excursion. There will be a cost/fee with this, determined on location and class size.
