Physical Education - Unit 3 & 4 

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Unit 3 and 4 Physical Education for 2026.

The Physical Education program will consist of predominantly classroom based learning, mixed in with numerous excursions and practical laboratories to further enhance your understanding of key topics.

As part of our orientation week program you will be required to complete a number of work requirements before the first class in Week 1 2025. This year we are beginning the PE course with Unit 3 Area of Study 1 and its topic "Skill Acquisition".

RELEVANT VCAA STUDY DESIGN FOR O WEEK- Skill Acquisition

The VCAA website states that the following key knowledge is required:

• classification of movement skills, including fundamental movement skills, sport-specific skills, open and closed skills, gross and fine skills, and discrete, serial and continuous motor skills

• considerations when coaching to enhance participation and performance:

  • characteristics of the 3 stages of learning (cognitive, associative and autonomous)

  • scheduling of practice including type (part and whole), distribution (massed and distributed) and variability (blocked and random)

  • frequency and type of feedback including intrinsic and augmented (knowledge of results and knowledge of performance)

WORK REQUIREMENTS

Below are the work requirements for the holiday period. All work is to be submitted by the first lesson of 2025. 

Please ensure that your work is yours as this is content that you need to know, and we won't be spending heaps of class-time on it in 2025.
