Recommended Prior Learning10 credits in NCEA level 1 Physical Education (11APE & 11PHE) or HOF approval.
In Level 2 Advanced Physical Education we look at the current issues in physical activity at St John's College and compare them at 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 sporting skill (Volleyball, Basketball or Badminton). Students will complete a six week training programme using the school weights area. This programme will focus on principles and methods of training, energy systems, and exercise physiology. Students will learn both interpersonal skills and leadership skills, which are vital for life. This will be done by coaching students from one of our contributing schools.
