Course aims / learning outcomes
- This is a year-long course that covers the key concepts of participating in physical activity, understanding anatomy and physiology, developing leadership strategies, developing strategies and training programs, promoting strategies for lifelong wellbeing and social responsibility.
Course content
- We will complete practical and theory sessions to support each learning context.
Assessment statement
All assignment work can be done in class and at home.
- Level 2: Four internal assessments with the total value of 15 credits.
Level 3: Four internal assessments with the total value of 16 credits.
Authenticity
- Assignments that take place over time will be produced in an online system such as Google Docs. Learning Advisors will monitor student work by accessing document history. A portion of work will need to be completed during class time under Learning Advisor supervision.
- Class tests will take place under supervised test conditions within class.
- Students may be required to sign an authenticity statement, perform certain parts of assessment tasks under close supervision, or show through interview and the existence of notes and supporting material that the work submitted by the student is genuinely his/her own work.
Appeal Procedures
- Students have the right to appeal the mark they have been awarded. If a student wishes to appeal a grade, they should initially talk to the subject learning advisor about the marking process immediately after the marked assessment task is shown to them. If still dissatisfied the student should make an appointment and discuss grades with the Principal’s Nominee who will check that the correct procedures have been followed as outlined in the school and subject policies taking into account any special circumstances.
