In Year 12 Sport Science we look at the current issues in physical activity at St John's College and compare them to a national level. Students will study Biophysical Principles such as: functional anatomy, biomechanics, skill learning principles and sport psychology through the context of a chosen Skateboarding skill.  Students will complete a six week training programme using the school weights area.
