Physical Education - Advanced

Content

This course provides students with the opportunity to further develop their fundamental knowledge in preparation for Year 11 and 12 Physical Education. Units of study include anatomy and physiology, movement concepts and strategies, fitness components and training methods and principles.  

The practical component extends the range of sports activities that students have covered in the compulsory courses in Years 8, 9 and 10.
