Level 3 Physical Education

Option Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Davies.

The Level 3 Physical Education’s programme is a 20 credit Level 3 Achievement Standard course.  All standards within the Physical Education program are Level 3 Achievement Standards. The program is completely internally assessed with no external standards. 

Level 3 PE encourages students to make greater connections between physical activity and the world we live in. This is a great course option for students wishing to further their knowledge of factors around physical activity or for those planning a future involving aspects of sport and physical activity.  Students will be required to demonstrate a level of performance in one of two practical contexts, complete an evaluation of a performance improvement program focusing on biophysical and sociocultural factors and developing strategies to ensure lifelong physical activity and well-being.   A critical analysis of a physical activity event, issue or trend is also included.

To gain course endorsement or entry to a tertiary institution you will need to complete 14 credits in Physical Education.

Students taking this course cannot enrol in the 13SPL course.
