Junior Physical Education Years 9 & 10 The Forest View High School Physical Education department aims to promote and nurture physical and social development through a range of sporting contexts. Our key performance indicators include, 1. Developing physical movement and sporting skills through understanding and questioning factors influencing skill development, including biophysical principles 2. Developing social responsibility, self-management and interpersonal skills through sport and physical activity 3. Developing physical literacy, aiming to achieve life long interest in physical activity and sport All students use modern e-learning tools to further understanding of physical movement and physical literacy. Our e-learning tool of choice is a slow motion video analysis system named Hudi technique (see below). This application enables our students to breakdown physical movement, exploring bio-mechanical factors that influence technique. Our students can then make improvements to personal technique to achieve better physical outcomes.
Our Junior program focuses on preparation for NCEA Sport Science courses. All sporting contexts have strong links to senior achievement standards. All context studies throughout the year focuses on building sound knowledge and understanding of quality performance, including, anatomy, biophysical factors influencing performance. Some of physical contexts covered in our junior program include, 1. Softball/striking games 2. Athletics performance 3. Fitness studies 4. Olympic Games and values 5. Volleyball/net games 6. Touch, turbo touch, ripper touch, turbo touch 7. Football games 8. Netball games 9. Ki O Rahi 10. Self defence We challenge all students to aim for physical, spiritual, mental and emotional and social excellence through these sporting contexts. Senior Sport Science & Outdoor Education Years 11 -13 At Forest View High school we offer a range of senior Sport Science and Outdoor Education program’s tailed to suit individual learning needs and career goals of all of our students. Our students are strongly encouraged to aim for academic and physical excellence through selected areas of learning. We value quality of learning and academic outcomes, rather than the amount of credits gained. There is a huge emphasis on e-learning tools and student centered learning in senior subjects. Students are encouraged to bring their own devices (BYOD) to further the learning experience.

Sport in Education As part of an initiative from Sport New Zealand, Forest View High School uses the Sport in Education model to improve academic and social outcomes for our students. The Sport in Education model focuses on using sport as a context for learning for a range of core subjects, including Mathematics, English, Social Science, Science and Physical Education. The Sport in Education model significantly improves Forest View student's ability to relate curriculum knowledge to a specified sporting context, thus improving academic outcomes. The Sport in Education model promotes excitement about learning, encouraging Forest View student's to inquire about learning themes. Through this model, students have the opportunity to engage in education outside the classroom and exciting activities, such as,
