This blend of practical and theory based study is closely aligned with Physical Education at the VCE level and gives students a strong base of knowledge for future study. Students who choose this subject will have opportunities to not only be active on a regular basis, but also explore how the body works and experience the impact of individual training programs. Students are expected to wear appropriate clothing, participate in practical classes, work cooperatively, satisfactorily complete theoretical and practical assessment.
