Physical Education Extension Program (PEX)
In 2017 Dalyellup College implemented an extension program in Physical Education for high achieving students in Health and Physical Education but who have also performed well in other learning areas across the school. This is an aspirational program designed to further the knowledge, skills and understanding of students who demonstrate the potential to become leaders in the school and advance through to senior school Physical Education courses.
The aim of this program is to improved students’ learning capacity and overall performance and success with their academic achievements. At this stage the course will run twice a week and take the place of general PE class on the timetable.
The PEX program enhances and extends students in all aspects of Physical Education.
Students will engage in:
- traditional sports (e.g. Basketball, volleyball,
soccer, athletics) - fitness based activities (mountain biking,
strength and conditioning, beach fitness) - applying sports science concepts in a practical format (biomechanics, nutrition, exercise physiology, sports psychology)
- linking with outside agencies to develop
coaching and umpiring qualifications - Peer analysis of isolated skills and game play using ICT including school iPads
The program has been established as a pathway
for students who may wish to study ATAR PE
Studies or General PE Studies in senior school
and could be interested in careers in the sports and
recreation industry. Pre-requisites will include a C
grade or better in Physical Education, along with a
minimum C grade in English.
