Course Description Prerequisites

10 Credits in NCEA Level 1 Physical Education, English, Health, History, Geography, or with HOD approval. 

Students must demonstrate a willingness and ability to fully participate in both the practical and literacy-based aspects of the programme. This includes:

Students are expected to contribute thoughtfully in class discussions, set written performance goals, and complete basic written tasks as part of their learning.


Level 2 Physical Education

This course builds upon concepts and information taught in Level 1 Physical Education. 

In this course, students will develop their understanding of training methods, energy systems, biomechanics, leadership strategies and movement strategies. This course is a stepping stone to exciting university and career pathways, including Sport and Exercise Science, Physiotherapy, Teaching, Health Promotion, Coaching, and Fitness Training. The knowledge and transferable skills you gain—like communication, leadership, goal-setting, and resilience—will support success in a wide range of fields. 

Students will have opportunities to apply what they have learnt in the classroom in practical contexts outside of the classroom. The students have a chance to work with Glenfield Intermediate students by running a sports day, gain knowledge around personal training programmes, understand skill acquisition, and there will be a camp planned during the year for students to experience a hands-on approach in activities.

Students will attempt 17 credits throughout the year. This course leads to Level 3 Physical Education.
