Year 11 NCEA Physical Education

We start with a volleyball module in which the students engage in skill learning. During this unit students are able to learn and practise new techniques. The next module looks at how the body functions during physical activity, focussing on anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology. The next focus is on Self, working on strategies to improve self-management and to see how this affects student participation in class. Finally we give students opportunities to develop their own interpersonal skills (skills such as communication, co-operation, negotiation, accepting diversity and providing support and encouragement to others).
