Kaiapoi High School
Level 2 Sport and Recreation
Course Description
Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Miss A. Fowler, Mr P. McAllister.
This course allows students to experience and participate in a wide range of physical activities in various contexts. This course is practical based which underpins the theory the students learn in the classroom. It provides students who select the course the chance to utilise the school facilities, including the weights room and other sporting and training equipment. With a big emphasis on providing students with practical skills, it would benefit students of a physical nature who enjoy sporting activities and the practical aspect of Physical Education.
The course is an alternative option to the Level 2 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 five assessments for Level 2 Sport and Recreation, however only one is solely practically assessed with the remaining four assessments having written aspects to complete. Topics that are covered include:
Practical activity
This can be assessed in various contexts such as squash, volleyball or touch for example. The students are assessed on how well they can perform the skills of the sport in an open environment.
Social responsibility
This is where students are assessed on how well they can manage themselves in a practical setting, looking at leadership opportunities, bringing correct gear and overall doing the right thing by showing school values.
Get up and Go
Students are tasked with planning and running an event, they are assessed on their ability to evaluate the entirety of the process from start to finish.
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.
Anatomy and physiology
This is a level 3 unit standard, students learn about bones, muscles, joints, movement, and adaptations to the body due to physical activity.
Recommended Prior Learning
This course has no prerequisites; open entry for all. Although it may be beneficial for students to have taken Level 1 Sport and Recreation.

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.
