Students gain an understanding of ecology, environmental sustainability, cultural perspectives, and physical and emotional health through participating in outdoor activities. They learn to develop and apply risk and safety management skills and responsibility for themselves and other members of a group. Students reflect on personal development and environmental practices related to outdoor activities. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

This course includes five topics all of which are crucial elements of the program. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Topic 1:     Natural Systems and Human Impacts.   &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Topic 2:     Planning and Management.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Topic 3:        Uses of Natural Environments.   &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Topic 4:        Conservation and Sustainable Practises.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Topic 5:        Outdoor journeys.  Students plan and undertake two outdoor activities and two journeys in a group.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assumed Knowledge:
An appreciation of outdoor pursuits and a respect for the environment are essential to skilful participation in Outdoor Education. Students should have a preparedness to participate in two 3-day outdoor journeys. Completion of the Year 10 Outdoor Education subject would be a benefit to successful completion but not essential. 

Assessment &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assessment Type 1 (40%) - About Natural Environments: Evidence of learning will be collected from three assessment pieces. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assessment Type 2 (60%) - Experiences in Natural Environments: Two assessments are based on their application and development of skills and one assessment on planning safe and sustainable journeys.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Course description:
The SACE Stage 1 Physical Education course aims to build upon knowledge and skills developed in Year 10 Sport Science and prepare students for further study in the SACE Stage 2 Physical Education course.  The course provides the opportunity to merge practical activities with theoretical topics and tasks. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Over the year the students will undertake an integrated approach that promotes deep learning in three Focus Areas, 'In, Through and About' Physical Education. The biophysical domain includes learning and applying Exercise Physiology and Biomechanical concepts. The psychological domain develops an understanding of Skill Acquisition and Learning theory concepts. The socio- cultural domain develops knowledge and understanding of, and skills to take responsible action related to, barriers, enablers, equity and inclusivity in physical activity. Physical activities will include sports, theme-based games, fitness and recreational activities, such as golf, badminton, touch and handball. 

Assumed Knowledge:
Successful completion of Year 10 Sport Science is highly beneficial.   

Assessment  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Students will provide evidence of their learning through four assessment tasks across the year.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assessment Type 1 (75%) &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

• 3 'Improvement Analysis' tasks each up to a maximum of 1,000 words each (or a maximum of 6 minutes for each individual oral or multimodal presentation)  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assessment Type 2 (25%) &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

• 1 'Physical Activity Investigations' task up to a maximum of 1,000 words (or a maximum of 6 minutes for the oral or multi modal presentation).  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Course description: 
Outdoor Education is the study of the human connection to natural environments through outdoor activities. Students develop their sense of self-reliance and build relationships with people and natural environments. Outdoor Education focuses on the development of awareness of environmental issues through observation and evaluation. 

By participating in outdoor activities, students develop knowledge and skills and reflect on their personal, group, and social development. They gain an understanding of ecology, environmental sustainability, cultural perspectives (including Aboriginal Australians’ perspectives about land), and physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Through outdoor journeys, students increase their effectiveness as members of a group and develop skills in leadership, self-management, group management, planning and evaluating, personal reflection, assessing and managing risks, managing safety, and minimizing environmental impacts for sustainable futures. 

The study of Outdoor Education also gives students opportunities to achieve good health and develop personal skills. Students reflect critically on environmental practices and are introduced to employment options in the outdoor and environmental fields. This course includes 3 focus areas, all of which are crucial elements of the program:  Conservation and sustainability, human connections with nature and personal and social growth and development. 

Assumed Knowledge:
Successful completion of Year 10 Outdoor Education and/or Stage 1 Outdoor Education is highly beneficial.

Assessment 

Students will undertake 5 assessment pieces. The following assessment types enable students to demonstrate evidence of learning: 

School-based Assessment (70%)
Assessment Type 1: About Natural Environments 20% - 2 tasks 
Assessment Type 2: Experience in Natural Environments 50% - 2 tasks 

External Assessment (30%)
Assessment Type 3: Connections with Natural Environments 30% - 1 task 

Course description:
The SACE Stage 2 Physical Education course aims to build upon knowledge and skills developed in Year 10 and Year 11.  The course provides the opportunity to merge practical activities into theoretical topics and tasks. Over the year the students will undertake an integrated approach that promotes deep learning in three Focus Areas, 'In Movement, Through Movement and About Movement'. The biophysical domain includes learning and applying Exercise Physiology and Biomechanical concepts. The psychological domain develops an understanding of Skill Acquisition and Learning theory concepts. The socio- cultural domain develops knowledge and understanding of, and skills to take responsible action related to, barriers, enablers, equity and inclusivity in physical activity. Physical activities will include sports, such as volleyball and basketball, fitness and recreational activities including coaching, to support the assessment tasks.

Assumed Knowledge:
Successful completion of Year 10 Sport Science and Stage 1 Physical Education is highly beneficial. 

Assessment
Students will provide evidence of their learning through ‘four’ assessment tasks across the year.  

This will include: 

School-based Assessment (70%) 

• Assessment Type 1 - two 'Diagnostics’ tasks (combining for 30%) with both tasks combining for a maximum of 3000 words (or a maximum of 18 minutes for both individual oral or multimodal presentations)  
• Assessment Type 2 - one 'Self Improvement Portfolio' task (40%) which contains up to a maximum of 4000 words, (or a maximum of 24 minutes for the oral or multi modal presentation).  

External Assessment (30%) 

• Assessment Type 3 – one ‘Group Dynamics’ task (30%) which contain up to a maximum of 2,000 words (or a maximum of 12 minutes for the oral or multi modal presentation).
