NCEA Level 1 Physical Education

The Level One Physical Education course for 2024 is part of the new NCEA programme.

Four assessments will be undertaken, which include - 

1. Demonstrate movements in context.

2. Demonstrate understanding of strategies which promote kotahitanga in movement.

3. Explore the relationship between movement and hauora.

4. Demonstrate influences on movement in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Two of these assessments are internals, with the other two requiring a Portfolio and a small Presentation (ie Digital) to be complete. Assessment material will be collected throughout the year.

In doing these assessments, you will learn: Leadership and communication skills; Anatomy - knowledge of body structure and function; Biomechanics; Motor skill learning; Physiology - short and long term effects of exercise; How physical activities influence well-being/participation; Demonstrate and describe qualities of movement in a physical activity; Develop interpersonal skills in groups.

A digital device, capable of recording and editing movement and strategies within certain movement contexts is vital.
