Year 12 Health and Movement Science (HMS) and Sports, Exercise and Health Science (SEHS) students recently attended the Australian Catholic University (ACU) Blacktown Exercise, Sports and Technology (BEST) Hub for a specialised Student Enrichment Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience provided students with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of key course concepts through hands-on practical activities and interaction with leading researchers in biomechanics and exercise physiology. Throughout the day, students rotated through a range of laboratory-based experiences, including energy systems and training adaptations, lactate testing, reaction time assessment, balance and stability testing, gait analysis, environmental chamber investigations, contrast immersion and Wingate performance testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students also toured the state-of-the-art BEST facility and participated in expert-led discussions and Q&A sessions that linked their practical experiences directly to syllabus content. The day allowed students to apply theoretical knowledge in authentic sporting and scientific contexts while developing their critical thinking and analytical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College thanks ACU and the BEST Hub staff for providing such an engaging and valuable learning experience that will support students in both their HSC and IB studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
