Level 3 Physical Education is designed for learners who want to build on their previous experience in PE and take their understanding to the next level. This course encourages greater independence, with opportunities for learners to help shape parts of their own learning program.
Throughout the year, learners will explore a range of engaging topics through selected Achievement Standards. These may include methods and principles of training, skill acquisition, performance improvement, and contemporary research topics in physical activity.
A strong focus is placed on critical thinking, challenging assumptions, and applying theoretical knowledge to real-life physical activity contexts. Learners will develop deeper insights into how and why people move, train, and perform—preparing them for further study or careers in sport, health, or education.
This course is ideal for motivated learners who enjoy being active, thinking critically, and taking ownership of their learning.
