10SPS

Year 10 Sports Studies

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Stanojevic.

Sport Studies is a course that examines the physical and theoretical understanding of sports and physical activity. 

The units of work are designed to give students a more critical awareness of physical activity, the importance it has in our lives, and societal factors which influence participation. Students will examine the history of sport, and the impact of sports in an NZ culture, as well as having the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports they may not have been exposed to.

There are both practical and written aspects to this course. 

Key areas of learning include Societal influences on Sport, Te Ao Māori and sport, Biomechanics, Functional Anatomy, Sports Psychology, Sociology, Skill Acquisition, Training Theory, and Coaching. 

It is hoped that 10SPS students use this as a platform to continue with NCEA Level 1 Academic P.E or NCEA Level 1 Outdoor Education.

Recommended Prior Learning

An interest in physical activity and sport and a willingness to look deeper at its impact on our lives.

Pathway

This course directly leads to the academic pathways for the Physical Education learning area and will give students a taste of what can be expected at Level 1, 2 and 3.

Disclaimer

Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.

The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
