11APD

NCEA Level 1 Academic Physical Education

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Hill.

Academic Physical Education is a course that examines both the physical and theoretical understanding of movement and is delivered under the new NCEA pathway.

 In 11APD we recognise that physical activity is a valuable component of life and we endeavour to not only experience being physically active but to critically examine why and how it is important to us and society.

We do this by evaluating the concept of Hauora and Mason Drury's Te Whare Tapa Wha wellbeing model to build Kotahitanga and Whanaungatanga within our classes. 

In regards to assessment, we collect work in an ongoing manner as a portfolio of written and verbal submissions with a large focus on physical activity and the 'BIG IDEAS' within the new Physical Education curriculum, these are:

* Movement is integral to Hauora

* Participation in movement enriches our lives 

*Through movement, we develop diverse capabilities

* There are diverse ways of understanding movement contexts and the moving body

11APD will offer 15 Credits, through three assessments, two internally marked by the department, and one externally marked by NZQA. We are also able to offer a second externally marked assessment, which students will need to opt into and work towards throughout the year (A possible 20 credits overall if opt-in occurs). 

Please note, there with be optional trips/activities associated with this course, that whānau will be asked to pay for. These will be optional and are aimed to increase the variety of experience within the course, however, they are not essential to be successful in 11APD. 

11APD will be 9 periods a cycle, achievement standards + optional unit standards (e.g., Scuba- 11-credits).

Recommended Prior Learning

It is advantageous, but not essential that students have taken Sport Science in Year 10.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

Students will need to be willing to be physically active, often. This requires that are prepared with a change of clothes, every lesson.

There will be opportunities for learning to occur outside the classroom, via field trips. Students will therefore be expected to communicate with their other subject areas and be ontop of their overall workload in order to attend these trips.

Any trips that incur a cost will be optional, and it will in no way impact student learning if students are unable to attend.

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.
