Physical Education & Health

Physical Education & Health Learning Area

In Physical Education we provide fun and engaging learning activities to help develop the students’ confidence and competence to lead healthy lives, including a gym-based Functional Movement module, delivered in our state of the art weights room.

Within Health, we cover a range of diverse topics which will enable students to make safe and informed decisions. We aim to develop their knowledge and understanding of Hauora, to maintain a balanced lifestyle, both now and beyond life at Dilworth.

Core Physical Education and Health is compulsory in Year 10 and Sport, Health & Fitness is compulsory in Years 11 and 12. Academic Physical Education can also be selected as an option subject in each of Years 11 – 13. Year 11 involves a Dilworth bespoke course, with Years 12 and 13 completing Achievement Standards and attaining credits as they work towards their NCEA qualification.  

Physical education helps students to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies to live healthy and physically active lives both at school and through the rest of their lives. They learn ‘in, through, and about’ movement, gaining an understanding that movement is integral to human expression and can contribute to people’s pleasure and enhance their lives.
