Year 13 Sports Science

NCEA Level 3 Physical Education provides learners with an advanced understanding of movement, physical performance, and the wider influences on sport and well-being. The course challenges students to think critically about the role of physical activity in society, analyse their own performance, and apply theoretical concepts to practical settings.

Learners will engage in a combination of practical experiences, research, and written analysis, allowing them to develop key skills in leadership, self-management, and critical thinking. 

Students will be assessed through a mix of practical demonstrations, written analysis, and critical evaluations. A strong emphasis is placed on independent learning, self-reflection, and the ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations. This course equips learners with essential skills for higher education and careers in sports science, coaching, physical education, health promotion, and fitness industries.
