Subject Cost - $25

Level One Sport Science - 11SSC

The essence of why we study Sport Science: that movement is fundamental to our lives, and contributes to our development, both as individuals and as members of our communities. Learning in, though, and about movement makes a significant contribution to Hauora. We learn in movement by developing physical skills and experiencing enjoyment. Through our participation in movement, we are able to develop social, emotional, intellectual, and cultural capabilities. And by learning about how and why people move, we come to understand what influences our own and others' movement, as well as what has an influence on movement settings and trends. In Physical Education, ākonga will have the opportunity to explore what movement means to them through different models of, and approaches to, hauora. They will engage in exercise, games, play, sport, recreation, adventure, and expressive movement, across diverse physical and social environments. Hauora offers a holistic understanding of wellbeing, and encompasses the physical, social, spiritual, mental, and emotional dimensions of health. The ways in which we move, and approach movement, can influence all aspects of hauora.
