Physical Education

Junior PE

The focus of Yr 9 & Yr 10 Phys Ed is to create active, safe supportive environments where students can challenge themselves in a variety of physical activities and environments.

The focus is upon active participation where life-long habits and appreciation for physical activity are developed. The Values and Habits of a St Johns Man and principles of Catholic Social Teaching are extremely evident and valuable to the junior programme.

The Sports Institutes have seen junior students being provided with increased physical activity, exposure to high level coaches and again develop life-long habits of being active.

Classroom learning is being supported by supplementary learning workbooks that students’ access on one note on 365. These are completed and focus upon reinforcing key learning outcomes.

Each booklet also has the department student self-assessment matrix which allows the students and teacher to review the standard and key competencies.
