Sports and Exercise Science Elective 2024

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education are important components of every child’s learning at Medowie Christian School. One of the various electives that our students may choose, during Years 9 and 10 to expand this knowledge in PDHPE is a subject called Sports and Exercise Science. This has been a very popular choice during 2024 with twenty-two students enrolled for this subject. During the year students have had the opportunity to examine the qualities of effective coaching, gain a greater understanding of how to develop and structure a training session, research the impact sport has had on Australian culture, and examine the complexities around organising large sporting events.

This term, our students have been attending the Gym during their practical lessons in an effort to explore what's required to be a Gym Coach. The students are tasked with the goal of designing a suitable training program for a client seeking to improve their overall fitness, but may also come with a range of needs including possible prior injury, anxieties around exercising in public spaces, health issues and age, just to name a few. It has been a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable learning opportunity for all the students, which they look forward to each week.

On behalf of the MCS community, we’d like to thank Luke and Keiren at Plus Fitness 24/7 Medowie for providing such a high quality experience for our Sports and Exercise Science students, this year. It has been a thoroughly productive and enjoyable year for all of our students, and can’t wait to provide similar opportunities again in Sports and Exercise Science during 2025.
