Students who have previously succeeded in earning 12 credits in a Level 2 Physical Education, or Outdoor Education course or HOF approval





Level 3 PES encourages students to make greater connections between physical activity and the world we live in. This is a very popular branch of physical education that enables students to make links between some of the traditional sciences and societal attitudes and views and how they impact on physical activity and movement. This is a great course option for students wishing to further their knowledge of factors around physical activity or for those planning a future involving aspects of sport and physical activity.

Students will be required to demonstrate a level of performance in one of two practical contexts, analyse the performance of a skill and complete an evaluation of a performance improvement program focusing on biophysical and sociocultural factors. A critical analysis of a physical activity event, issue or trend is also included.
