Physical Education + health - mātauranga hauora me tinana

HE ORANGA NGĀKAU, HE PIKINGA WAIORA

POSITIVE FEELINGS IN YOUR HEART WILL RAISE YOUR SENSE OF SELF-WORTH

Physical Education develops the social, emotional, intellectual, and cultural capabilities of ākonga.

These capabilities inform the ways in which ākonga understand tikanga in movement contexts, provide diverse ways of participating in physical activities, and contribute to movement's wider benefits to hauora.

Big ideas:

Movement is essential to hauora (wellbeing)
Participation in movement enriches our lives
Through movement we develop diverse capabilities
There are diverse ways of understanding movement contexts and the moving body

Level 1 Physical Education

At Year 11 Physical Education is an option. Level 1 Physical Education is the introductory course, which sets the foundation for students’ achievement in Level 2 and 3 Physical education.

Students will Learn to:

• understand a range of biophysical principles

• understand that sociocultural factors influence

the moving body

significance and tapu (the different parts of the
