Course Length: Full Year

Teacher in Charge: Richard Beeston (BEE)

In this course, students will explore learning through movement contexts and by accepting challenges. Students will engage in movement to promote and support the development of physical and social skills, foster critical thinking, and understand the significance of physical activity in both self and wider societal development. We will also cover outdoor safety, and environmental concerns of our oceans.

Travel to offsite venues is a large part of this course.

COURSE COSTS

Students will require a 60-page clearfile, and 1B5 exercise book.

Students will also be expected to pay a course contribution as part of this course.  This covers the cost of offsite activities, and the amount will be confirmed in 2026.
