10 Physical Education and Health
10PHP Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms C. McConachie.
The Health and Physical Education Programme at Year 10 focuses on the concept of total well-being. Through learning in this learning area students will gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
Through the Health Programme students will explore Body Image, Relationships and Sexuality Education, Careers, Drugs and Keeping Ourselves Safe.
In the Physical Education Programme, there are a range of compulsory aspects that students participate in. These include Gymnastics and Dance, Fitness, Aquatics (Stroke Development and Surf Survival) and a range of team and individual sports. We also run a free swimming programme for those students who need help improving their swimming technique or learning to swim. Attending Year 10 camp is optional but highly recommended.
Throughout both Health and Physical Education students will be encouraged to recognise the importance of working with people and learning skills and strategies to maintain and enhance those relationships. There is also a strong emphasis on participation and lifelong learning.
At Year 10 students have 2 periods of Physical Education a week and 1 period of Health.
