NCEA Level 3 Physical Education

The Year 13 course requires far greater self-management than Year 12. You need to be able to manage your time wisely. You need to meet ongoing tasks as, if modules are left to the last minute, the amount of work becomes daunting.

Students will critically evaluate influences on their decision-making with respect to the physical activity experiences they have participated in over time.  They will evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement program, devise strategies for achieving a physical activity outcome and demonstrate quality performance of a physical activity in an applied setting.  They will also examine contemporary leadership principles.

In Physical Education the focus is on movement and the aim is to encourage students to engage in movement experiences that promote and support the development of physical and social skills.  It fosters critical thinking and action and enables students to understand the role and significance of physical activity for individuals and society.  

It would be advisable for Year 13 students to have a season pass to the Ōhau Ski Fields to complete the Term 3 module.

There are no reassessment opportunities as most standards involve a few weeks' work. There are however a number of assessment opportunities throughout the year for AS3.4.
