L3PEX

L3 Physical Education Xcellence (L3PEX)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Welch.

This course is for students who want to get the best possible marks!  We aim for Xcellence in everything we do!  This is our top Sports Science class & students are expected to lead by Xcellent example!  We usually have 1-2 theory & 1-2 practical classes each week.

This course is academically challenging & is based around the application of Biophysical & Sociocultural knowledge.  Currently all assessment is internal which means it is on-going & students are expected to do homework. At this level students must apply knowledge to get credits!  Which means they must have knowledge to do this.  L3 is a big step up from L2 PEX.

We have traditionally offered a trip at the end of term 1 but this is dependent on many factors.

If you want a challenge both physically and academically this is the course to do!

There may be some expenses with some activities like the trip but this is an optional extra extension opportunity & is not compulsory.
