Curriculum Level:  6

Course Length: One Year (3 lessons/6 days)

Total Credits:  15 (Achievement Standards)

Special Costs: $20-$25 Gym fees

Course Outline:

The multi-activity approach at Year 9 and 10 provides all students with a base of skills and experience.  The focus at Year 11 is on applying the skills learnt to more formalised applications.

There are four Achievement Standards in Year 11 encompassing a range of activities and emphasising a variety of physical and social skills; the remainder of the year is made up of a multi-activity programme and two health.

Activities included in NCEA units include:

5 Star Athletics (Achievement Std 1.3 and 1.6)

Pro-Active gym sessions (Achievement Std 1.1)

Individual training (Achievement Std 1.1)

Alternative team sports (Achievement Std 1.1)

Sports Education (Achievement Std 1.5)

A Health Component of 4-6 hours is designated to Drug and Alcohol plus Sexuality Education.  This supports the sequential program of Years 9 and 10.  Outside agencies are used for these modules.

One class will initially follow the NCEA Achievement Standards course but will adapt to less academically demanding Unit Standards based assessment, if necessary, to help students achieve success at this level.  This will be at the discretion of the class teacher in consultation with the Head of Faculty.  This class will consist of students identified in Year 10 as most needing this type of course.

Assessment Outline:

The following criteria form the basis of subjective assessment on individual student progress and achievement.
