Course Description

Teacher in Charge: 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. 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 course is intended for students who wish to be physically active and who want to manage their own general fitness levels.

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.

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 2024, 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.
