Physical Education Level 1

Movement is integral to the human experience. It facilitates a lifelong understanding of our bodies, contributes to our hauora, and allows us to live physically active lives. Movement is affected by and affects who we are, how we experience and interact with others, and our relationship to and place in society. Physical Education develops the social, emotional, intellectual, and cultural capabilities of ākonga. These capabilities inform the ways in which ākonga understand tikanga in movement contexts, provide diverse ways of participating in physical activities, and contribute to movement's wider benefits to hauora. Physical Education invites ākonga to engage with how movement affects them, those around them, and their wider communities. Ākonga recognise and understand the challenges which affect participation in movement, and respond to any movement barriers with full and active participation. Through their learning journey in Physical Education, ākonga will develop and refine their understanding of what it means to be physically educated and promote physical education throughout their lives.
