Year 13 Sports Science

Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Watson.

This is an Achievement Standard course including both theory and practical work. In order for students to gain success in this challenging course, learners must be self-directed and motivated. There are three main practical activities throughout the year, including a 3 day snow camp and a physical challenge ( 5km/10km run, Aquathon). Students need to examine and show critical understanding of their performance within these activities. 

Topics include safety management systems, current physical activity issues or trends impacting on NZ society, improving sporting action based on biomechanical analysis and devising strategies to achieve a physical outcome.

While it is an advantage to have completed Y12 Sport Science it is not an essential requirement.
