Henderson High School
Physical Education
Introduction to Physical Education
Physical Education has long been a favourite subject of students at HHS. Physical Education enables ākonga/ students to achieve outstanding results in terms of subject/course endorsements and the subject contributing significantly to ākonga/students gaining University Entrance (UE) at Year 13.
HHS Physical Education aims to provide ākonga/ students with the opportunity to develop an extensive range of skills that include both social skills and specific subject knowledge.
The HHS Physical Education and Health Department views health and fitness and the development of motor skills as a key part of understanding the value of participating in physical activities to ensure ākonga/ students experience positive outcomes in sports and physical activity.
Ākonga/ students can participate in many sports and recreational activities from traditional sports (i.e. Volleyball etc) to challenging tramping/ camping activities. This will enable ākonga/students to develop essential knowledge and skills for safety in the outdoors.
Senior school ākonga/ students will improve their understanding of coaching, leadership, and exercise physiology through training programs and biomechanical knowledge.
It is highly recommended that ākonga/ students are aware of the following:
- There is a significant increase in theory content (in-class time) from junior Physical Education.
- Ākonga/ students must have a good command of literacy for report writing.
- Ākonga/ students must be willing to actively participate in ALL physical activities involved in the subject (i.e. Swimming, tramping, mud runs and camping).
- Ākonga/ students must have 100% Henderson High School PE gear.
