Year 10 PE
Throughout this term, year 10 students have been completing their fitness unit set up by the Physical Education staff and external venues. The students undertook fitness training in week one of the program where they focused on a sit and reach test, illinois agility run, 12min shuttle run, Vertical jump, 60sec of sit ups and 60sec of push ups. The unit is so students are to participate in 10 weeks of training to help improve their fitness levels, so when they retest at the end of the term, we would look to see improvements! By the end of the unit, the Year 10 students would have completed the following:
- 2x Fitness tests
- Plyometrics training
- Resistance training
- Circuit training
- F45 Class
- HIIT Class
- MetaFit Class
- Boot Camp Functional Training
As a college we try to apply many different sports and activities to our lessons so we can help create the best opportunity for our students. The Department of Health recommends students the ages between 12-17, need to partake in the following requirements to help remain healthy:
- 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous training
- Muscle and bone strengthening training 3 days per week
By having 7 different types of activities throughout this unit, we hope we have motivated our year 10 cohort to continue with fitness or sport after this unit is completed.
On behalf of the College, we would like to give a massive thank you to F45 Gladstone Park, Broadmeadows Leisure Centre and Oak Park Sports and Aquatic Centre for offering their programs to us over the 10 weeks of this component.
