Year 10 Advanced Physical Education

Year 10 Advanced Physical Education is suited to highly motivated students wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical concepts that underpin sport and exercise. Student explore performance enhancement in sport through the application of sports science principles, including biomechanics, energy systems, fatigue and recovery. Students participate in a wide-variety of practical activities at school and throughout Bendigo to enhance understanding of the theoretical concepts covered. 

Advanced Physical Education involves both theoretical and practical components. Students complete three theory lessons (in classroom) and two practical lessons per week. To consolidate understanding of theoretical concepts, students are also required to complete weekly homework and revision activities.

Advanced Physical Education seeks to extend students beyond the scope of Year 10 Physical Education and is specifically tailored to students wishing to accelerate into VCE Units 3&4 PE in Year 11 or continue into VCE Units 1&2 Physical Education.

• Practical learning, including regular participation in sport, exercise, recreational pursuits and team challenges
