PDHPE

During practical lessons, Years 7-10 have been developing their Athletics skills in preparation for the school athletics carnival in Week 3, Term 2. Students have been exposed to both track and field events such as discus, shot put, high jump, javelin and more. 

Inside the classroom 

Year 7 have continued to develop their skills of planning a balanced lifestyle and working on their assessment task due in Week 11, Term 1. Students are required to establish a 4-week training program to improve a component of fitness and a 2-week nutritional program to suit this goal. 

Year 8 are still working through the 'Risky Business' unit, establishing resources to reduce risk and highlight the health risks associated with smoking and vaping for young individuals. 

Year 9 are exploring content associated with nutrition and how to ensure young individuals are aware of the benefits of a nutritious diet and appropriate levels of physical activity. Students have been able to identify appropriate and healthy substitutions for unhealthy foods. 

Year 10 have moved onto their second unit 'You Guide to a Good Night Out'. This unit of work explores how young individuals can make safe choices in a range of contexts. 

Year 12 Work Studies 

Our Year 12 Work Studies class has been on the grind creating and running the annual Camden High School 6-a-side soccer competition during breaks. Students have allocated roles and responsibilities across the class and have established a well-represented and competitive competition. Acknowledgement to these students, Mr Brasington and Mr Reeves for their dedication to this competition during lunch and recess each day. 

Year 12 Sports, Lifestyle and Recreation (SLR) 

Year 12 have completed their athletics assessment task. This task required students in groups to choose an athletic discipline and present an activity to the class. Students displayed impressive communication and leadership skills throughout the activity. 

Year 12 PDHPE 

As they approach the halfway mark of their HSC year, Year 12 PDHPE have finalised the 'Sports Medicine' unit by completing their assessment tasks during week 9. They will move on to their final content unit of 'Health Priorities in Australia' before they begin preparation for their HSC. Not long now!
