Year 10 PASS Program Update

The Year 10 Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) program for Term 1 places a strong emphasis on active participation and meaningful engagement in physical activity. Students are provided with a wide range of opportunities to learn through diverse games and physical education contexts that promote enjoyment, inclusion, and personal development.

A key focus throughout practical sessions is communication. Students regularly work in teams where they are required to communicate effectively to organise play, problem-solve, provide feedback, and support one another. Opportunities to adopt leadership roles, helping students develop interpersonal skills that are transferable beyond the physical activity setting.

The theory component program complements practical learning by exploring the physical activity opportunities available within students’ local communities. Students investigate community-based sports, fitness facilities, recreational spaces, and informal physical activity options, increasing their awareness of what is accessible to them beyond the school environment. The aim of this learning is to educate and inform students about the importance of regular physical activity and to help them identify activities that align with their interests, abilities, and lifestyle.

During Week 4 timetabled lessons students will have the opportunity to complete an Aqua Sculpt Floating Pilates lesson. This is a fun and social twist on traditional mat Pilates, taking their work out onto the water to challenge balance and activate the core.
