Emmanuel Catholic College Curriculum Handbook
Year 10

Specialised Physical Education

The Specialised Physical Education program is designed to provide students with both practical and theoretical experiences to broaden their knowledge and skills in a sporting context.  

The aim of the subject is to provide opportunities for students to enhance and refine their own physical skills to perform to their full potential. The sporting activities are used to develop technical and tactical skills in team and individual activities. The physical activities also provide an opportunity to gain knowledge in managing, umpiring, and coaching.  

The theoretical component examines the human body in terms of how it functions, performs, and moves. Year 10 Specialised Physical Education introduces students to the practical and theoretical components studied in General and ATAR Physical Education Studies in Year 11 and 12 and is specifically designed as an introductory course to assist the student’s preparation for these courses. 

Some of the topics that are covered are: 

  • Energy systems 
  • Principles of training 
  • Skeletal and muscular systems 
  • Biomechanics of golf
