Sports Education
The aim of Sport Education is to help students become both skilled sports participants and 'good sports'. Rather than simply teaching the basic skills, Sport Education involves students in all aspects of their selected sport. They learn to play, coach, referee and manage.
Sport Education helps students:
- Develop skill and fitness specific to particular sports
- Experience the social and personal values that playing a sport can provide
- Become full participants at an appropriate level
- Share in planning and sports administration
- Develop the capacity to make reasoned decisions about issues in sport
- Understand and value fairplay issues
- Develop and apply knowledge in relation to skill learning, game tactics and strategies, umpiring / refereeing, injury prevention and first aid
- Decide voluntarily to become actively involved in sport outside school hours
