Year 12 Physical Education

The Year 12 Physical Education course contributes a possible 20 credits towards Level 2 NCEA and is covered in 4 units of work. Each unit is assessed against one or more Achievement Standards. The units of work include training for an event, anatomy and biomechanics, examining the effect of a significant physical activity event, and planning and implementing an activity for younger students.
