Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation

The Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation course is a logical extension of the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education key learning area in Years K-10. It is a substantial course of study to cater for a wide range of student needs and interests in both the practical and theoretical aspects.

There is a growing awareness in society of the need to be physically active to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Participation in this course will lead to better informed community members, through involvement in such areas as skilled movement, sports coaching and the recreational and sociological perspectives of sport. There is also a desire for excellence in performance within society and students will have the opportunity to enhance and refine their own physical skills in a variety of activities.

The Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation Studies course is designed to meet the needs of the increasing number of students returning to Years 11 and 12. The course encourages students to continue to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the role of sport, a healthy lifestyle and recreation in everyday life.
