What better way to experience learning than to hit the Gym! Whilst studying "Fitness Choices" students (and their eager teachers) participated in an intense 45 minute circuit workout. During the class students wore heart rate monitors so they could gather data on their intensity levels. Reflecting on their learning, students discussed reasons why we choose different methods, venues and types of exercise and physical activities to keep us all healthy. Thanks to Scout from F45 Newtown for kicking us all into gear!

Bstreetsmart is the inspiring initiative of the Trauma Service at Westmead Hospital. Westmead’s Trauma Service is constantly reminded through their hands on work that young people aged between 15 – 30 are disproportionally represented in road trauma. As a result they have a strong commitment to Road Safety Education.
This excursion is an annual inclusion to the Stage 5 PDHPE curriculum and involves students composing a creative video for the Bfilmed 2023 competition.
Health & movement laboratory space
Health & movement laboratory space
Head Teacher, Mr Samuel Byrne, has been working behind the scenes to create a new innovative teaching and learning space for the students of NHSPA. What used to be an old storeroom space in the Gym, has been transformed into the "Health & Movement Laboratory," containing bike/ski/row ergs, free weights (dumbbells, bars, ropes & medicine balls), elastic resistance bands and a squat rack. The space continues to be a work in progress, as the PDHPE faculty continues to improve the area, with training programs and equipment.
The benefit for students? They get to kinaesthetically experience learning, in particular to content learnt in the syllabus about training types and methods, creating strength programs and physiological adaptations to physical activity.
As the space has only just been opened, prioritised use is for Stage 6 and elective PDHPE students. Parental permission and an induction to training will occur before any student use.
