Level 2 Physical Education
12PED Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs N. Johnson.
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.
There are no external achievement standards to be assessed in NCEA Level Two Physical Education. In other words there will not be an exam at the end of the year, so it is vital that you attend regularly, work hard all the time, make the most of the opportunities of class/library time given and hand all assessments in on time.
You will require a good fitness base in order to complete the practical standards in this course.
