Save your actual school result to count your credits.
In this internal assessment, students look back at their own physical activity history — things like sport, dance, childhood play, fitness activities, or outdoor pursuits — and use what they've learned from those experiences to make a plan for staying physically active and healthy for the rest of their lives. Students need to think about why they participated (or didn't), what effect those activities had on their wellbeing across all dimensions (physical, mental/emotional, social, and spiritual/identity), and then come up with realistic strategies to keep physical activity in their life after school. The wellbeing framework used is hauora (whare tapa whā model). This is a 4-credit internal standard, meaning your school sets and marks the task.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Look back at your personal physical activity experiences from childhood to now (e.g. sport teams, dance, outdoor ed, gym, recreational activities).
- ·Identify the influences on why you did or didn't participate in those activities (e.g. family, culture, access, friends, school).
- ·Make judgements about how those experiences connect to each other and what impact they have had — and could have — on your overall wellbeing using the hauora framework (physical, mental/emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions).
- ·Use those judgements to devise practical strategies — real plans — for keeping physical activity in your life beyond school, taking into account what your future life might look like.
You examine your physical activity experiences, consider why you took part, make some judgements about how they relate to your wellbeing, and suggest some strategies for staying active in the future. Your ideas are relevant but may be fairly surface-level or general.
