“By learning in, through and about movement, students gain an understanding that movement is integral to human expression and that it can contribute to people’s pleasure and enhance their lives.”
The In dimension refers to a range of physical activities that we can take part in to develop our ability to move competently.
The Through dimension is where we use the physical medium for social, intellectual, emotional or moral development. This could be developing communication skills, assertiveness, tolerance, acceptance, and manākitanga.
The About dimension refers to information we teach to put physical activities into a context and make sense of them.
Movement is fundamental to our lives, and contributes to our development, both as individuals and as members of our communities. Through our participation in Physical Education, students are able to develop social, emotional, intellectual and cultural capabilities. Physical Education enables all students to enjoy and succeed in many kinds of physical activity.They develop a wide range of skills and the ability to use tactics, strategies, and compositional ideas to perform successfully. Discovering what they like to do, what their aptitudes are at school, and how and where to get involved in physical activity helps students make informed choices about lifelong physical activity. Physical Education helps students develop lasting personal and social skills. They work as individuals, in groups, and in teams, developing concepts of fairness and of personal and social responsibility.They take on different roles and responsibilities, including leadership, coaching and officiating.
