11 Performance Rugby

Students will attend 11PFR 4 hours per week. The lessons will consist of both practical and classroom based learning where they will be introduced to concepts to help understand:

• How movement is integral to hauora.
• How participation in movement enriches our lives.
• How we develop diverse capabilities through movement.
• There are diverse ways of understanding movement contexts and the moving body.

These concepts will be taught through the following units of work in a Rugby context:

• Application of movement strategies in an applied setting.
• Biophysical impacts on performance - This involves investigating human anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology.  
• Socio-cultural impacts on participation unique to NZ Aotearoa - This involves students exploring a range of physical activities and investigating the various impacts of society on their participation levels and choices. 
• Applying strategies to demonstrate kotahitanga through a variety of class selected contexts - students will have the opportunity to demonstrate interpersonal skills contributing to kotahitanga (unity).
