Health and Physical Education
The students and staff within the HPE Department have hit the Term running and are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A special mention to all the HPE staff who have gone above and beyond for our students to make sure they are prepared for their upcoming assessment period.
Year 7 students are heading into their examination period where they will complete the Personal Identities during Theory and Modified AFL during Prac.
Year 8 students are heading into their examination period where they will complete an exam based on 'Risky Business'. This see's the students demonstrating knowledge they have learnt throughout the term of positive risk taking, identifying types of stimulant, depressants and hallucinogenic drugs, and the short/long term effects of these. During the practical lessons, they have been engaged in Modified European Handball, and this is a massive hit!
Our Year 9 HPE students are currently in either a practical or theoretical block and at the conclusion of this week the students will switch. During theory, students have been learning about Diversity and Inclusion and how the College can better provide accessibility and make recommendations to Mr Krueger to allows students to be involved equitably in the College’s sporting culture.
Year 9 HSE students have been learning both theoretical and practical methods of providing CPR and First Aid. During practical lessons, they have been exposed to the game of Touch Football and have been taught how to create movement strategies and movement concepts in attacking and defensive opportunities throughout the game.
Year 10 Sport and Rec students have been rolling through their Sports Marketing and Netball assessment which will conclude at the end of this Term.
Year 10 Health students have been exploring homelessness. In particular they have focussed on the factors that contribute to youth homelessness and statistics on Homelessness in Queensland. They have explored support services in the Ipswich Community and have participated in the Blankets for Brisbane initiative which collects blankets to donate to the homeless. Well done to the Year 10 Team.
