Level 1 Physical Education

This course will include learning opportunities that create a foundational knowledge of the subject, as intended by the revised NCEA Level 1. The Big Ideas and Significant Learning (https://ncea.education.govt.nz/health-and-physical-education/physical-education) will be the focus and this will be assessed through the new Achievement Standards. Students will be offered assessment opportunities for a selection of these standards based on their progress through the course and how ready they are. It is expected that all students will be able to attempt three NCEA Level 1 assessments throughout each course for around 15 credits. For 2024, kaiako (teachers) have developed practical and diverse courses around these features, including assessments related to performing a  range of strategies in physical activity, demonstrating kotahitanga (unity/teamwork) in a variety of physical activities and evaluating the influence of movement on personal hauora (well-being).
