Overview
Our physical education subjects help students to develop skills and understanding of human physical activity, health and wellbeing, and the natural environment.
University pathways and careers include exercise physiology, nutritionist, wellbeing consultant, outdoor education, and sports coaching.
Students explore human physical activity, including their own abilities, in this practical subject. They look at factors that affect people’s decision to take part in physical activity, and factors that affect their performance.
Students explore the factors that affect health and wellbeing and make decisions about them. They look at the role of health and wellbeing, and how to create positive outcomes for individuals, communities and global society.
The study of outdoor education develops students' connection with natural environments. This leads to personal growth, social skills self-confidence, initiative and leadership skills.
