This course will be different every year and the topics studied will depend on the interests of the students.  This is a co-designed course which means the assessments and contexts are planned together, students and teacher.  

This course can be taken as a half year option. 

This means you would complete 3 internals in Term 1-2 (one of which is purely practical) and then have a study option for Terms 3-4.   

The Tough Gal Challenge

•To provide students with the knowledge and skills they require to study Physical Education in a Tertiary Education Institution.
