Food and Nutrition combines elements of both the Home Economics and Technology curriculums to create an innovative course, that allows students to design products to meet changing nutritional interests of Individuals and general society. These courses offer a great balance of practical and theoretical learning opportunities in real life, applied nutritional contexts.
Outdoor Education allows students to look at how Outdoor Skills such as Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking and Kayaking, can be used to enjoy place responsive experiences and develop awareness of our local environment. We encourage this course for those genuinely interested in a careers in Outdoor Education such as Instructing or Environmental Management.
Physical Education allows students to investigate a broad range of Movement Principles such as Biomechanics, Motor Learning and Exercise Physiology. There is also a large proportion of Interpersonal skills such as Leadership, Coaching and Sports Psychology. Students throughout their years will experience a broad range of theoretical and practical components.
