Level 3 Physical Education and Outdoor Education Combined
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. King.
This course will be new in 2024. It will be a hybrid course that starts the year off in 13PE completing rock climbing for a practical and also the option of a risk management report for extra NCEA Level Three credits. The course will then change at some point during Term Two or the start of Term Three where it combines with the Outdoor Education course. New Level Three Outdoor Ed assessments are being created that will be on offer in this course next year. Towards the end of Term Three, students will potentially move back across to the Physical Education class and have the option of completing another NCEA Level Three assessment.
