10 Physical Education

The year 10 PE course reinforces and builds on students understanding from year 9. Throughout the year, students will become tactically aware of how to develop the fundamentals of movements in sports, be able to manage themselves and play safely, competitively and fairly and will be challenged to consider new and strategic ways to overcome barriers and outwit opponents.

Alongside traditional sports such as Touch, Softball, Basketball and Volleyball, students will be introduced to less-familiar activities such as AFL, Lacross and Handball. Students will look at water safety and start to consider culturally diverse sports to widen their understanding and exposure of practical activities. Students will be introduced to key components of Physical Education such as muscular and skeletal features, anatomy and biomechanics and warming-up and cooling-down strategies. 

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.
