senior
PE
In our senior PE
programme we
are able to offer
4 achievement
standards all
looking at building
and improving
on the students’
knowledge from
years 9 and 10.
In our first standard, we
focus on our interpersonal
skills and the students
create and work within
teams to coach and
officiate each other. This
really challenges our
students to listen and
understand each others’
views.
In our second standard,
we challenge the students
to participate in a variety
of different games
and activities many of
which they have not
experienced before or are
not familiar with such as
archery, bowls or soccer.
Students are then asked
to consider some of the
factors that influence their
participation and how and
why they participated.
We also have a
performance standard
where students are
required to perform an
activity or sport to a high
standard on a regular
basis.
Our final standard is a
health standard looking
at promoting positive
sexuality. Although this is
a difficult and sometimes
embarrassing subject
we feel that it is vitally
important for all our
students to learn and
understand about this
subject as they mature
into adulthood.
Tongariro camp
During week 9 our
Student Leaders and
other Year 13 students in
Leadership roles went to
Tongariro National park for
a 5 night camp.
The camp had a focus on
developing their leadership skills
and allowing them to consider
what they as a group would like to
achieve this year.
All leaders were given the
opportunity to challenge themselves
both physically and mentally.
The students participated in a
variety of different activities, which
gave them the chance to practice
some of their leadership skills.
They represented themselves and
Māngere College very well and we
look forward to seeing what this
group of students can do into the
future.
