Every student has access to a range of co-curricular options, including languages, music, the arts, community service, leadership and sport.
Physical Education is a core study for all Year 10 students and consists of practical and theory sessions. John Monash Science School (JMSS) recognises that physical activity is linked to emotional well-being and academic performance. Apart from the associated health benefits, it is also a means of releasing tension and aiding relaxation.
Physical Education classes will access the impressive array of sporting facilities at Monash University, and the hard court facilities on our own school grounds. The Year 10 program will include a mixture of individual and team sports, as well as competitive and noncompetitive activities. Physical Education also incorporates aspects of Health and the JMSS Learn To program to develop the whole student.
To provide our students with experiences that allow them to access and engage in physical activity. To experience the physical and emotional benefits of physical activity. To build the confidence and competence to seek out physical activity as a method to regulate their own overall wellbeing. This ties in with Health through Nutrition, Lifestyle Illness and Mental Health.
To develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to enable students to access, evaluate and synthesise information to take positive action to protect, enhance and advocate for their own and others’ health, wellbeing, safety and physical activity participation across their lifespan.
