Level 1 Sport and Recreation

Course Description

Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Miss A. Fowler, Mr P. McAllister.

This course offers students the opportunity to experience and participate in a wide range of physical activities in a variety of contexts. The course is intended for students who wish to be physically active and who want to manage their own general fitness levels. Students will explore kotahitanga through participation in group activities, games, & sport and will be guided to discover how teams or groups function best together.  

The main focus of this course is to equip students with the necessary skills to maintain and develop their personal wellbeing, both now and in the future, as well as prepare them for future academic and job opportunities.  The course is an alternative option to the Level 1 Physical Education & Sports Science course, and will have a greater practical element.  


Course Overview

What is taught in courses varies from year to year. This course could include:
We currently have four assessments for Level 1 Sport and Recreation. Topics that are covered include:

Practical activity
This can be assessed in various contexts such as korfball, volleyball or spikeball for example. The students are assessed on how well they can perform the skills of the sport in an open environment.

Personal fitness
Students will learn how to manage their physical fitness with guidance. This may be for healthy living, or to meet job related or other physical activity requirements. They will learn to assess personal levels of physical fitness using reliable techniques, develop and produce a personal exercise plan based on the results of the personal fitness assessment and implement the personal exercise plan and measure progress in relation to personal goals.

Kotahitanga
Students will develop strategies to improve team dynamics in a practical environment. This will include developing interpersonal skills such as communication, problem solving and manaakitanga.

Static stretching
Students are in charge of running a cool down stretching session making sure it is done correctly and explain how and why they are doing it.

Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it.  Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.  

Costs

The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2025, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
