PE200
What we learn about in PE200 is based on the interests of the students taking the class. Each year the students will be asked, what they would like to learn and what they are interested in and the course will be designed to meet the needs of the students as much as possible. In all cases the course will have as much practical work in as possible and theoretical concepts will be learnt, wherever possible, by doing instead or just sitting writing.
This means that each year will be different to the year before.
Possible topics to be studied are:
Planning, managing and leading events
Leadership and coaching
How to develop training programmes
Understanding group and team dynamics
Current sports events and their affect on society
Practical sports performance
Sports psychology and skill learning
Why take PE in Year 12?
- PE is the only subject where you get to play sports and get credits for it.
- PE does not have any externals or exams.
- PE teaches skills that are valued by employers such as leadership, people management, event management, interpersonal skills.
- PE teaches skills such as analysis and evaluation which benefit many other subjects.
- 80% of students who take PE in Year 12 continue on to Y13 PE so it can't be that bad.
