PE learning activities

Let us help you maximise student understanding in your classroom 

We offer a range of curriculum-based activities for PE students that teachers may book at anytime throughout the school year to suit their timetable. These include the VCE PE topics of energy systems, fatigue, performance enhancement, fitness assessment and training programs. We also cater to Years 9-10 with our sports science, fitness testing and body systems sessions. These sessions are conducted onsite in our high performance athlete testing and training facility from Monday-Friday. Each session duration is approx. 2 hours and includes both curriculum based theory and practical activities to enhance students application of key concepts.
