Year 12- Big Day Out Excursion

On Monday the 20th of May, our year 12 PDHPE students attended an excursion at the Wesley Conference Centre called The Big Day Out for PDHPE . This covered content on Core 1 of the syllabus- ‘Health Priorities in Australia’, Core 2 of the syllabus- ‘Factors Affecting Performance’ and ‘Sports Medicine’.

Below is an insight from some of our year 12 students.

“Attending the Big Day Out for PDHPE was an enriching and inspiring experience. The event brought together leading experts from various fields to offer Year 12 HSC students valuable insights into the PDHPE syllabus. Hearing from professionals like John Quinn and Maddy Turner on factors affecting performance provided practical perspectives on the application of theoretical knowledge. The diverse range of speakers, including Dr. Joachim Worthington and Dr. Zhaoli Dai-Keller, who addressed significant health priorities in Australia, ensured a comprehensive understanding of both core topics and elective modules. This immersive learning experience deepened our appreciation of the syllabus content and its real-world implications.

The Big Day Out for PDHPE is an invaluable initiative that should continue in the future due to its unique ability to bridge the gap between academic concepts and their practical applications. By engaging with world-renowned athletes and distinguished academics, students gain firsthand insights and inspiration that may not always be accessible in a traditional classroom setting”.
