Course Overview
Stage 1 PE courses allow students to explore how and why we move, and how movement can be improved through both practical experiences and theoretical understanding. This subject encourages students to actively participate in physical activity while considering factors that influence participation and performance.
Through the study of two key focus areas — Improving Performance and Physical Activity Investigation — students take part in activities where they collect and analyse data from their own performances. They use this information to experiment with and apply strategies for performance improvement, linking theory directly to practice.
It is recommended that students successfully complete at least 1 semester of Stage 1 if they wish to enrol in Stage 2 Physical Education.
