• In Movement
• Through Movement
• About Movement

Themes: Performance analysis, Performance Improvement, Interplay of energy systems, biomechanics, skill acquisition, Group dynamics

Assessment:

Students’ performance will be determined according to the subject’s Performance Standards as outlined in the Subject Outline. Grades A+ to E- will be used for reporting purposes. Students are encouraged to produce work in a multi-modal format.
