Recommendations
Sport Studies would be recommended for those students who are interested in the practical aspects of sport, sport coaching and learning through sport, compared to Stage 2 Physical Education which is places a large focus on performance and data analysis through performance improvement tasks.
In Sport Studies, our learning content is designed to foster a deep understanding of various sports and outdoor activities while empowering students to reflect on their own learning journey. Through this dynamic approach, students are encouraged to keep a portfolio where they can document their progress, insights, and personal reflections throughout the course. By engaging in a range of sports and outdoor activities, students are exposed to diverse physical challenges, strategic decision-making, teamwork, and personal growth opportunities. As they participate in activities such as team and individual sports, and outdoor adventures, students are encouraged to critically analyse their performance, identify areas for improvement, and set goals for their ongoing development. This reflective portfolio not only serves as a record of their achievements but also as a platform for self-assessment and self-awareness, allowing students to gain a deeper appreciation of their own learning journey and the skills they acquire through the diverse experiences offered in Sport Studies.
