They have developed knowledge, understanding and skills that promote confidence and success in games and sports activities that are individually orientated. They have critically analysed the social perspectives that have an impact on sport in Australia and examined the major reasons for participation in sport, and the impact that media, economics and drug use have on sport and explored the type and selection of various tournaments. Finally, they investigated event management procedures and issues influencing the administration of sport. As a result, students developed the knowledge, understanding and skills required to design and implement a significant sports initiative and once a week participated in various practical games and physical activities. Their first two recreation days were at Ten Pin Bowling and Mega Mini Golf.

On Thursday 13 October, the girls had their last recreation day at Cables Wake Park in Penrith. It was a fun-filled day on the inflatable obstacle course and on the wake board course. Many of the girls were very brave and moved out of their comfort zone and pushed through their limits from knee boarding to wake boarding. They faced the cold and gave it a go even after many ‘failed’ attempts. I would like to thank Mrs Caffrey for her assistance in the organisation of the day as if it wasn’t for her, worthwhile experiences like this would not be possible for our PDHPE students.
